(Social Experiment)

wait - so, based on this rigorous implementation of the scientific method, we can conclude that there are men willing take advantage of an attractive inebriated woman?  wow!  i'll send notification to the National Academy of Sciences!!!

that is some edgy social commentary right there...

I believe it was mostly a play on the Hollaback "social experiment" which got so much attention:

re: Hollaback

I want to comment on that on here because I don't remember seeing us discuss it yet. What I find most irksome about this is just the intellectual dishonesty of the entire thing. It says in the ending she got over 100 cases of verbal abuse from "people of all backgrounds."

Horseshit. Pure, unadulterated horseshit. She was not harassed by people of all backgrounds; she was harassed by poorly educated, lowest-quintile minority males. College professors were not whistling at her. White men with Master's Degrees were not yelling "bless you, mami!" No captain of industry stuck his head out of his limousine as it passed by and yelled "hey toots, nice cans!"

This is not a "men are pigs" issue. It's a "3% of men -- who all come from the exact same 'hood' background -- are pigs issue." But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your insane narrative.

What I find most irksome about this is that she simply is not attractive.  I mean, do men not have standards anymore?

The wealthy and well-educated are better than the poor is a dyed-in-the-wool Julian issue. I didn't bring up religion.
