Women Surround Crying Mom Whose Toddler Was Having A Meltdown At The Airport.

79. This is what people should do

help each other, and I am glad to read about women helping the overwhelmed mom with the out of control kid. But I am not happy with the implication (only women stepped up to help) that there was something wrong with the men present for not helping her.

So let me relate a story of my own: I was in a doctor's office waiting room, maybe a dozen people there, and woman came in with an infant in arms and a probably three year old. As soon as they trio entered the office, the kid threw a screaming tantrum. Running around, throwing himself on the floor, just way out of control. The kid ran around the room a couple of times, and the second time he ran by me, I stuck out my arm to stop him, just let him run into my arm at the kid's waist level, and I started talking to him, to try to distract him. The kid totally stopped his tantrum, but suddenly the mom starts yelling at me and a couple of guys came over to check me out. What was the difference between the two events? I am a male. So I must have been some sort of perv or something.... This is why men don't step in when this stuff happens.
