I read a story about a man that intervened to save 2 women and ended up getting killed in Capetown. Even if these women ARE grateful, even in the short-term, so what? They won't think about his sacrifice months or years from now, he was a stranger to them, nothing more.

You know who will though? His family will feel the loss at every celebration and holiday. Sure, you can say at least he was a hero but what did it matter? No one will remember this except his family. Finally, they would not have done the same for him. I have personally witnessed women just stand by while men and women are brutalized and bullied and do nothing, in some cases of the latter, they laughed. Look out for number one gentlemen.
