How does she know that the two men who ignored her were not men transitioning to female or that they were minority men trapped in white men’s bodies?
Her own quote from the article:
"As fathers, husbands and sons they should be ashamed of themselves.' "
Ok.
Still bystander effect and while I understand her anger, she has to realize that real life is not an action movie where some hero comes by to save the damsel in distress with some fancy hapkido moves.
I saw an article in the news a few days back about a female fashion exec who was attacked on a London subway and has called out two men for not coming to her aid. In my mind, any able bodied person of ANY gender witnessing an attack on someone of ANY gender should have lent a hand if they were able. But she seems outraged specifically because two men did not come to her aid.
If we have gender equality, if women can serve in the same capacity as men as soldiers, firefighters, first responders and police, why are men held to some different standard if they witness a crime? Why not equally call out any able bodied woman who was present and did not act?
Let's take this a step further and do a little thought experiment... let's imagine a male where attacked in front of some female witnesses who did nothing. Can you even IMAGINE an alternative universe where the man called out these
women as cowards for not helping him and a newspaper article is printed with headlines that basically say the same thing?
Equality is a two way street and it's not always about getting something. Sometimes it's about stepping up as well.
Yeah, I blame those men for not stepping up, but I equally blame any able bodied woman who witnessed this and did step up! Obviously if anyone, male or female, has a child in their care, this does not apply!
Because men are bigger, stronger and more mentally capable when it comes to stopping violent crime. I say more mentally capable because most violent crime is committed by men, and men as a collective whole tend to understand violent men far better than women do.
Despite the fact that we live in a world that is becoming more equal by the day, there are some things that even the most delusional people still understand deep down when the SHTF, and that is that men are biologically designed for combat both physically and mentally. While some feminazi hipster chick riding the bus downtown may think she's a badazz and talk about how she doesn't need a man to protect her, the first time some punk takes her iphone, she's not going to complain when a 200lb man that looks like her dad takes it back for her.
$hlt getting real tends to trump political correctness.
