I don't kniow if Joanna Lumley is well known in the US but she speaks eminent good sense and I agree with her views 100%


Actress Joanna Lumley has slammed 'laddish' young women who drink so much they end up being 'sick in the gutter'. She said women who venture out in skimpy outfits and get drunk put themselves at risk of being 'robbed or raped'. The Absolutely Fabulous star, famous for playing the frequently drunk Patsy Stone in the TV sitcom, urged young girls to stop behaving badly and take more responsibility for their actions, which she claims leave them vulnerable to rapists or muggers.

In an interview on Thursday she said: 'Don't look like trash, don't get drunk, don't be sick down your front, don't break your heels and stagger about in the wrong clothes at midnight. This is bad. 'It's not me being a snob about it. It's not me being an old woman talking to young women, it’s just standard practice for how our species should behave. Don't behave badly.

'I promise you it is better to look after yourself properly, which means behave properly, be polite, be on time, dress properly - I don't mean dully - but don't be sick in the gutter at midnight in a silly dress with no money to get a taxi home, because somebody will take advantage of you, either they'll rape you, or they'll knock you on the head or they'll rob you.' Ms Lumley said it was 'something in our society' that caused young women to behave badly. She said: 'It could be to keep up the laddish thing which makes you look funkier.'

She said she had never got so drunk that she roamed the streets at night looking dishevelled and not knowing how to get home - the opposite of her character Patsy who is famous for falling out of taxis on to a pavement, blind drunk.

Not so Ab Fab: Joanna says she 'detests' Patsy Stone, the drunken character she plays in the hit comedy Absolutely Fabulous

Patsy Stone was regularly drunk in Ab Fab, but Joanna Lumley 'detests' her character. Ms Lumley, who believes women should stop going out in 'practically nothing', said she did not condone raucous behaviour in young boys either, but that girls were more vulnerable and had to be aware of 'predators' on the streets.
She said: 'Girls used not to get legless and now they do, and so I think that's a trend which we should pull back from.'

I agree with the OP and unfortunately those who caterwaul that people are saying "Women are asking for it" do women a disservice. No woman asks to be raped, however there are things women can do to not put themselves in situations in which they could be raped. To not acknowledge that fact is foolishness and I think the ultimate war on women.

Those who claim to support so called womens rights reduce them to sexual objects who can't control themselves. It is sad.

Ask your psycho mate why that is!! We even have TV ads in the UK warning women about the consequences of drinking too much, I bet that you never knew that??

Drunks in the street were always men; now women have equal opportunities, thanks to me and my sisters-in-arms on the feminist barricades. Drunks in the street used to be people who could pass for 18, or 16 at a pinch; now they're rolling out of primary schools. And drunks were always rude, rough people - what my mother called "dragged up in Rowmarsh Road", though I can't remember now where Rowmarsh Road was - but now they're nicely bred girls stumbling out of nicely appointed wine bars on hen nights.

As we were stringing up Christmas cards around the fireplace, I noticed an unfamiliar signatory who wrote her seasonal message thus: "Hope you have a really great Christmas and a fantastic TOTALLY BLADDERED New Year!!!!" Who on Earth? Oh, it's my friend, said the daughter, sniggering. Really? From school? The one with the MSc in rocket science? "Marine hydrography, and no it's not her. She doesn't drink a lot, actually."
It used not to be acceptable for young women to be seen sprawled and stumbling through the streets, held up by a yelling coven in disarray, busy filming everything on their mobiles. Now it's the genial duty of your daughter and mine at a hen night (I say "night"; it's more often a week) to encourage the bride-to-be into a state of falling-down inebriety.
