Read something earlier today that makes me very uneasy. I'll link to the article and quote an extract as well, but basically some Mother Hens and White Knights have taken it upon themselves to "keep drunk girls safe" in Israel. Certainly no problem with keeping drunk girls, or any other types of girls, or guys, safe but the way this is going to unfold will be ugly.
Essentially the Mother Hens and White Knights form vigilante groups and patrol the streets, and possibly bars and clubs as well, looking for drunk girls to "save" (essentially to save them going home with a guy). Now in the Israeli case there is a bit more to this than meets the eye. You have to read between the lines. Specifically the line in bold:
I'm afraid I see formal organisations like this springing up in North American cities in the very near future. I can just sense that a "movement", purportedly to save drunk girls, is going to start in an especially lame city like Toronto or DC and spread further from there. Now I have no problem with people being safe, but it is obviously going to be taken much too far. Can you imagine how eager some of the fat/ugly/bitter late 30/s/40's women/uncool lesbians and White Knights who currently form the bulk of cockblockers are going to be to join this kind of movement? It will allow them to formalise their general bitterness and nastiness and make as if it is carried out in the name of a good cause. If a movement like this does arise, as I am expecting, it is going to make things very ugly. Guy and girl walk out of a club together. A group vigilantes approach repeatedly asking the girl "Honey are you OK? Is this man bothering you? Are you sure you know what you're doing? etc. etc." Of course being feminists they will have no problem with the double standard. Nobody is going to be asking he guy, who is likely just as drunk, these questions. LOL.
About the only good I can see coming out of this situation, and it is hardly that good, is that if an especially talented, and especially evil, member on this forum gets ahead of the wave and starts a movement like this himself. He'd sort of be chanelling Hugo Shwytzer. I don't know how, but there must be money to be made when getting in on the ground floor of a seemingly non-profit "movement". Think of movements like SlutWalk, Occupy Wall Street and so on. MUST be money to be made. I just can't think how to do this, and am probably not evil enough to do it myself anyway. But to the smart sociopaths out there with a background in social media, my personal opinion is that this sort of thing is going to arise and get very big in North America. Consider how you can profit from it.

(Scroll down for video) When girls go out to party and they get drunk they are much more vulnerable to being raped.
An undercover operation was set up to save the girls from harm's way. A group of well trained volunteers joined forces to save the drunk girls.
The group is called Learn and Live, and their goal is to rescue girls from dangerous situations.
Leora Adam explained that drunk teenagers sometimes go home with men who abuse them later.
In some of these cases, the girls went home with men to the Arab villages where they were trapped. Learn and Live has rescued girls in these situations many times in the past.
Now, they are taking precautionary measures and they try to stop the drunk girls from going home with random men they don’t know and who may harm them.
On Purim the group patrolled in downtown Jerusalem. Purim festivities take place in the main squares of the city.
Some 25 trained volunteers were divided into small groups in the streets and provided assistance and guidance to young girls celebrating, drinking heavily and even taking drugs.
The organization's staff will handle girls who are at risk of falling into problematic situations. Two tents were set up for the occasion where they provided a safe place for girls to rest and have a hot drink. They were also able to spend the night before getting breakfast and money for their bus ride home in the morning.
