Has anyone noticed how this new generation of men (1950’s to current) will sit back and watch a woman get attacked unprovoked rather verbally or physically?
There is a hangout spot in my neighbor so I see this quite often and it has happened to me a few times. Some of these same guys will try to have a convo with you or will express their interest. The guys always say a woman has to be their lady for them to take up for her or will even say “if that was my girl he wouldn’t be talking to her like that”.
I’ve few of the guys “if you are willing to standby and watch a woman get attacked (verbally/physically) she is forced to learn how to defend herself. So at that point what is the need for the man?” The men are usually left speechless and don’t know what to say.
I believe that’s valid question. I told them if this is the behavior I am seeing before hand why would I date them seeing that there is a possibility that this same behavior would be present in the relationship. If a woman is left to defend herself for so long there is no need in having the partner/husband to do it.
Lastly, this is only something I see with American/Westernized me. I never have this problem with immigrants and tend to prefer dating immigrant men because they have strongly morals and don’t have this “conditional” masculinity that American men suffer from.

No, I haven’t noticed this.
I’ve literally never witnessed a woman being physically attacked.
And if you mean catcalling, I don’t want other men to escalate it to a physical fight unnecessarily trying to defend me. That’d be stupid.
