English term or phrase: ladette
Está en un texto que habla sobre publicidad dirigida a mujeres:
The 80s redefined women's status in the workplace - reflected in advertising which showed power-suited women in office environments. The 90s recognised their sexuality and we saw the arrival of the ***ladette*** in advertising, or the sexually predatory women of the XXX break ads.

Spanish translation:lo omitiría ya que...
Explanation:
"or the sexually predatory women" es la explicación.
Ladette, quiere decir la versión feminina de "lads" (los hombres que toman juntos, discuten el fútbol, tratan a las mujeres como objetos) es un neologismo muy a la moda en Inglaterra, que no creo que tenga un equivalente en español.

Explanation:
El término se utiliza sobre todo en el Reino Unido y en contraposición a la palabra "lad" y parece que fuera peyorativo en descripción a la muchacha joven que no es muy femenina y que consume mucho alcohol.

En este artículo te lo define:
http://www.lhup.edu/library/JulieScott_02.htm

A ‘Ladette’ is a girl who plays hard like the boys - drinking, swearing, and generally being laddish. ‘Ladettes’ are presented as being as much a product of the family in crisis as ‘yobs’. These young women are seen as responsible for the decline in marriage and birth rates, while contributing to rising female offending, aIcoholism, and generally failing to assist in creating responsible male behaviour via marriage and parenthood (Phillips 1993).
