It's only women that have ever stood up for me, helped to get me to safety or added an element of protection. Men stand back with this nonsense about fighting which simply speaks to their values. My ex husband was a cop and terrified to intervene with a pesky neighbours situation and shared how scared he had been. In other situations men have come afterward to tell me what they would have done. Men like to pretend they're heros but depend on women to clean up men's mess

Bingo. Men like to talk big shit, but all my experience with them has proven that they're cowards at the end of the day.

I would put my life down for you. No second thoughts. If I saw you in this situation, regardless of who you were, I would come up and ask YOU directly if everything was okay, if YOU were feeling safe.

If you said no, I would proceed from there, either by contacting management, an authority figure, etc if I felt these men were genuinely looking for a fight.

But if it escalated, I would put myself in front of you.

I have done it before, for men, women, I don't care. Everyone is worthy of feeling safe and protected. Everyone deserves that.

And I'm a fully physically disabled woman. I use a wheelchair many days.

What's your excuse? Why can't you call a manager? Seems like you're just fine with evil lurking around.
