Yes, I have this very strong instinct. However, as terrible as it is, there are now situations where I would no longer get involved. And, ironically, it's because WOMEN have insisted on changes to the law that would make ME responsible rather than the criminal, and because so many women no longer have any respect or appreciation for men.
Years ago, I got involved in a situation (a drunk/high homeless man on a commuter train was screaming at a random woman and all up in her face, and getting more upset and violent by the second), and I nearly got arrested for it. Fortunately, 4 other people vouched for me, and they ultimately let me go, but had they not stayed and talked to the police, I'd have gone to jail. I was VERY lucky, and this was 20 years ago, long before the most recent craziness - long before "mostly peaceful protests," "defunding the police," Wokism, and the incredible levels of "victim Olympics."
I'm pretty sure that if this had happened today, I'd be looking at a prison term, and my business would be destroyed. This is what Feminism calls PROGRESS.
At this point, I do not, unless it is EXTREMELY clear that the woman is in immediate physical danger and that she's tried to disengage from the situation (that is; she's not egging him on), but the person keeps attacking.
I've seen too many situations where women are running their mouths, doing all kinds of disrespectful and often physically aggressive shit (especially towards men), and then they want to act all defenseless when the time comes to put their money where their mouth was.
I'm very sorry to see when someone get's their ass beat, but you aren't going to see me put myself in harm's way for someone who is picking fights.
My boyfriend protects me without thinking about it. I’ve almost stepped on a snake on two different occasions and he immediately got my attention both times and then physically pulled me back. They’re not something I generally have to worry about where I live and we’ve encountered them on vacation. If he feels weary about a situation or person he’ll put his hand on my lower back and physically put himself between me and whatever made him feel weary

No we don't. I don't at least. I would only protect a woman i have a bond with (wife, family, etc...). If I saw a random girl getting attacked in the streets, i would just walk away and maybe call the police. I wouldn't risk to get stabbed or go to jail for a stranger who didn't give me a thing.
If a guy intends to harass or physically harm a woman and he is aware of her having a boyfriend or husband it is enough of a deterrent.
Or if a guy sees a woman he doesn’t know in a situation, he can always approach as a boyfriend or husband to deter anything from further happening.
He doesn’t necessarily need to get physical with her potential threat.
I only extend that to Family and close friends, I know how Family and close friends will react, the rest of women today are too unpredictable and have gone of over the slightest thing, It would have to be an extreme case, like and active shooter or a woman being beaten up, from me to intervene,
Absolutely. I'll defend anyone if needed. And when it comes to my partner, I want her to feel safe and secure, so I'll protect her no matter what.
When I was younger, sure, because that’s how I was raised. These days no, let them defend theirselves. Unless it’s a female friend or female family member, everyone else female wise can fend for themselves.
Yes I feel a need but unlikely to get involved these days for fear of some feminazi female cop arresting me,,,
Go to the gym, ride my motorcycle, go to the shooting range
I was raised to protect my sisters, and I think that led to me wanting to protect women in general.
Not women in particular, no. I don't like anyone getting victimized.
"WHEN NEEDED"! Key words.
Yeah, I feel it's only natural.
As crazy as it is, yes, I do!
Family members yes.
Random girls no.
If they are part of my family
yeah
Very much so
