Your perceptions of what is female privilege

[grace7777]

You don't always have the option to 'just walk away'. And if you continually back down from every type of challenge, most people will assume that there must be some valid reason why. If a woman, say, outside an ATM with her children is fighting with a man and won't relinquish her purse, and you just stand there and phone for the police, and she winds up hurt or dead, how do you think the rest of the world will think of you when the police arrive ten minutes later? As the children cry, 'He just stood there! And did nothing!' You'd really do that? You've been brought up way differently than I was.

There are times that you are attacked and there is no choice but to fight, so you defend yourself to the best of your ability. Other than that, most situations can be defused or deescalated. Female police officers, studies have shown are less likely to be involved in fights with suspect than male officers because they seek to deescalate the situation. It is male ego that causes a lot of problems and makes situations worse than they needed to be.

In your situation if a woman is attacked at an atm machine with her children around, what do you do. The attacker is a person who needs to be off the streets and in jail. I will do what I can to get them there. By the way, calling the police is doing something. A lot of people, both male and female would do absolutely nothing. Also if possible I get a description of him and if possible with my cell phone get a picture. These steps can help the police capture the attacker and get a conviction, so this person stays in Jail. Also, I am not a good fighter. Police departments around the country I am sure would support my actions. Every situation is different, so what I do depends on the situation and how I assess it. My ultimate goal in the situation is the safety of the victim.
