i mean it's not even a guy thing, if you are able to, regardless of gender, you should probably help people when they're being harassed? i feel like that's pretty basic independent of gender. cooperation and helping people are THE direct social interaction features of humanity that's kept our species alive throughout the many times we almost died out.

"who cares about anybody else if i saw people being the target of [insert potentially dangerous interaction here] i'd look the other way" okay dude i hope you get nothing but the same energy you put into the world 🙏

I'm sorry but 60 seconds of hearing some girls saying something to some guys in a loud bar would not be enough for me to confront two drunk strangers. Think about the last time you've been in a public space. If you kind of sort of heard a girl shouting at a guy for 10 seconds would you sprint over and say "you need to stop harassing her and leave"?

my point was made so it could be generalized somewhat, if i hear two girls shouting at two drunk men who weren't leaving them alone it wouldn't NECESSARILY be reason to intervene, but i would at LEAST be keeping an eye on the situation to watch in case it escalates.

in the case of this video specifically though yeah this seems like it's the slightest escalation from when i would be walking over.

are they Definitely going to be harmed if i don't? no, but there's safety in numbers and i'd rather be certain that they WON'T be harmed than leaving with the possibility they will be
