In reply to the discussion: Kentucky woman says man beat her for looking too masculine — as people stood by and watched [View all]Egnever
(21,506 posts)12. Really hard to judge unless you were there.
Who knows how this started or if people even knew she was female when the fight was happening.
Much more info needed. Maybe the bystanders had no idea it was a man fighting a woman and not two men fighting. Generally when two guys fight it is quite common for people to just stand by and do nothing.
I am not saying that is the case all I am saying is unless you were there it seems pretty over the top to claim a failure to get involved is an indication of the breakdown of our society.
