It is a British concept where by women rejected the ideaology of acting like ladies in public and take to acting like drunken idiotic men instead i.e. "the lads", causing rowdy havoc etc. It has coincided with the awful binge drinking culture that Britain has and gets us frowned upon whenever we go abroad. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ladette The result, more broken ankles, women causing fights and getting arrested and vomit everywhere. Not a pleasant site.

In some respects, to use "ladette" and "culture" in the same sentence would be an oxymoron. The ladette culture demonstrates the rise of young women to act like the lads of the late 80's. These lads thought nothing ouf going out for the sole purpose of getting drunk and displaying no respect whatsoever to the people around them. We all want equality for women, and so many young women followe the lads, and develope their own version of it. As a result, they go out drinking for the sole purpose of getting drunk, (often secreting small bottles of vodka in handbags to slip into orange juice), cavort loudly in groups in bars/clubs etc, display no respect for other groups in the area, reveal their breasts to anyone who is interested, and throw up before they get a taxi home with a large kebab. There is ultimately no real difference between the way these girls behave and the way their male equivalent behave, but for some reason, society seems to frown more on the women. As for me, I find the notion of going out for the purpose of getting drunk to be distasteful, as well as the idea that, being drunk gives you license to shout, scream, dance, vomit and generaly disrespect anyone. Whether it be lads or ladettes, I think they need to watch videos of themselves when they sober up.
