I experience way more shit tests from men when theres women around (expected).

I have sometimes had a woman or women "defend" me from a shit test.

Like a man telling me "you're ugly, you're annoying, your nose looks wierd etc.

Where one or multiple women will say "hes handsome, funny, I like his nose etc."

Therefore I hadn't directly addressed the shit test myself. Should one address them and do women do this out of pity or because they instinctly know shit tests? 80% of the time they direct their attention to me afterwards.

If I should address these how should this be done after a woman's "defense"?
