Was I wrong for not helping this woman?

[Steve-the-lion]

The other night I was walking back from the shop and I saw a middle aged woman walking my way. I looked away for a few seconds and then looked back, and she was on the floor, moaning like she was in pain. What caused her to fall down, I've no idea. And as she got up, I just kept on walking by.

The reason I didn't want to help is because I've known many cases where a man went to help a woman who was in some sort of trouble, and the woman started shouting abuse at him. I even know one case where a woman attacked a man trying to help her. I've also had quite a few times in the past where I've held the door open for a woman and they got offended. So I'm now hesitant to help women because I don't know how they're going to react. Deep down I want top help, but I feel as though women today are unpredictable and don't appreciate a man helping them. So was I right or wrong to not help the woman?

LOL, you were right to have mixed feelings about stopping to help a female stranger these days. I would have tried to help though. If some fake feminist with a personality disorder wants to go off on me for a basic courtesy or offering help her up from a fall, I'm not gonna let that alter my values. I'll just walk on and leave her there and not allow that interaction to alter my behavior with the next person. I hold doors open for other guys and couples too. A lot of people have done it for me. If I saw anyone fall, I'd help them up and make sure they're not hurt. Don't let assholes turn society into a cesspool.

I think I would have the same reactions that you did and possibly do the same thing. I don't feel like helping women is safe at all.

Lol @HollyK21 this post is pure made up bullshit to complain. Look no further than this part.

"I've also had quite a few times in the past where I've held the door open for a woman and they got offended"

Because let’s be real, who’s getting “offended” over something like that🙄

[Senyoritta]

i dont know you could ask from far i saw dropped so do you need my help.
But i dk if its also would couse ay problem. My English not well so i did understand only maybe %50/60 part of what you typed.

[slatyb]

in my opinion you should have stopped. Suppose she yelled at you? So what? How would you be any worse off for it?

[Steve-the-lion]

Because trying to help her might offend her.

[slatyb]

Offending her is trivial compared with the pain she will experience if she needs assistance. Besides, you can´t avoid offending those who are easily offended. Do what is right, and if people are offended, that´s on them.

Yes, you could have just called the cops or ambulance for her, and not done anything else.

You were either a chickenshit coward, or an apathetic loser in that situation.

[noohair]

Dis you stop to observe? You could call 911 for help...

[Mike_Whocheese_Harry]
