Cat-Caller Knocks Man Out in Rittenhouse Square: Police ["This is a tragic, tragic story," Captain Fuchs said. "Here's a guy trying to stick up for these girls and he gets victimized."]

This is a sad story. As a long term reader of Men's Rights this is a new low for this group. We talk all the time about being egalitarians - well no-one, men or women, should have to put up with street harassment and this guy stood up for what he believed in - humanity.

White knight or no white knight those other guys were cunts.

Another poor schmuck who has bought the idea that his physical safety is less important than the psychological comfort of women he doesn't even know.

What does this have to do with men's rights?

this is why you never, ever "white knight" for women.

You run the risk of physical harm, with zero to show for it. No feminist group is going to pay his medical bills, or even visit the poor guy in hospital.

Some feminists will actively spit on him calling him a misogynist for his white knighting.

There was is NO GOOD REASON TO EVER DO THIS.

If you have real concern, call the cops.

And this, feminists, is the result when you run around demanding that men live up to our socially prescribed gender rolls by 'saying something'.

You want vigilantism. This is what happens to vigilantes.

I'm sorry, but if you guys are reading these stories and going "Ugh, just another guy putting himself in harm's way for a woman"? There's something wrong with you.

If you claim to be about equal rights, then you should not have a problem with anyone stepping up to try and stop this sort of treatment from happening to anyone else. If the roles were reversed, and some radfems were attacking a man and some women stepped up to stop them and got hurt? This thread would be full of comments supporting that woman. And there is no reason why you shouldn't be supporting the man here.

Just because you have a bunch of preconceived notions about white knights and all that bullshit? Doesn't mean that this is the case. Just because the people being made uncomfortable were women does not mean that this man was not simply trying to be a good person.

If you're honestly going to sit here and defend the assholes in the car, and say that the guy shouldn't have gotten involved or that they were in their right to knock him out? You need to re-evaluate your status as an MRA. Because if you're actually about gender equality, you wouldn't be treating a guy like shit just because he decided to stick up for a woman.

Poor Sir Knight. I wonder if he got the girls' number....?

I feel sorry for the guy, he was just another sucker which thought that proxy violence on behalf of women is somehow admirable.

It's not.

It's stupid and extremely dangerous. If you think that the punishment for saying something woman doesn't like should be a summary beating in the street, you have a medieval grasp of justice.
