A female news anchor wonders why hordes of men didn't rush to defend a woman from harassment on the New York subway.
On May 28, Sky News Australia posted a video titled "New York bearing signs of 'societal decay.'" The video shows a man (who seems as if he is on drugs) entering a train car and sitting next to a young woman. He then touches her without consent, grabs her, drags her around a bit, and generally is an extremely unpleasant nuisance. He eventually leaves her alone and proceeds to try to kick out one of the windows.
During the video, the young woman is seen looking at other passengers, with obvious worry in her eyes, begging somebody to please "help me." Nobody tries to help her. The news anchor, Rita Panahi, asks the question, "Where are the men?"
If I had to guess, they were standing in their place, checking their male privilege, toning down their toxic masculinity, and coping with how their Time's Up. Perhaps the men wanted a demonstration of how women are actually the stronger sex. Perhaps the threat level just did not seem that high to them; New York has a duty to retreat, after all. Besides, New York has been in the habit of arresting those who defend themselves.
Most likely, the men who were on the train did not care about this woman. They did not know her and were not likely to ever get to know her. How could it be worth it for these men to possibly be killed or maimed (it is unknown if the aggressor had a knife) for the sake of someone who may as well not exist to them?

Step 1: Return to God.
If I intervene in a situation, it will be with overwhelming force and violence. This situation would not be worth intervention.
I don’t know about you but my heart is broken that we are on a forum talking about losing our freedom and I for one feel helpless. You are right about folks pulling back into their own little world because we were pushed there slowly over time and I don’t think most realized it. Where do we go from here?

Not my problem...kill the Jews, I’m safe.... says the next country guy on the list.
Your daughter/wife/girlbabe is safe in idaho...today...from politicians too.
I don’t disagree in the least. I am attempting that in my own life.
A return to Judeo-Christian values as a compass would go a long way.
You and I will disagree on this.
I view some chick on a subway being attacked as someone else’s sheep being attacked, because in the end, it is my own.
I can tell you exactly what one person said. My Dad was HS buddies with one of the founders of Poland Spring and tried to get him to invest. Dad said no way in HELL was anyone going to PAY for water!
He has regrets now.
That isn't illegal...yet, but only because we don't live in Communist China. But if we all retreat into our little shells, it will be, because we WILL be living on Communist China. You and I both know this in our hearts.
LOL, we call that “Mass Psychosis”!!!
False analogy. The government killed the Jews, not some crackhead on the train. We should be more than willing to kill oppressive government officials so the Gestapo/NKVD/Stasi never happen again.
Yes. Fake. Same with TV commercials.
So I needed a /sarc tag? Really?
No, I know you know. You don’t need a sarcasm tag... I was playing off your comment.
Absolutely. It kinda makes me glad I am in my final space of life now.
Lets not forget, many of these violent criminals carry guns or knifes. It’s common.
I think 99% of the people in NY are not allowed to carry or defend themselves or another life with a gun. So it makes some sense.
I thought I would be gone before this came to pass. It is all coming down faster than I ever thought it would.
For decades now I've observed the plethora of bald twenty/thirty something men. The ever-increasing soy additives within the food processing system contributes to the development of 'soy boys'.
‘Men’ in NYC do not know how to drive...
