I've got to say, I'm despairing at some of the replies in this thread.
My friend recently witnessed some woman who is selling the Big Issue magazine outside of a supermarket get physically threatened by a homeless guy who was literally frothing at the mouth in rage. She was looking around for help and everybody kept their heads down. It's sad and pathetic. Would you have stepped in there to help?
lol... nah probably not ![[Image: icon_biggrin.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/new/icon_biggrin.gif)
You posted this with a pic of a woman who looked islamic. What your response was based on though, I can only speculate. She looks pleasant enough. Did you base it on the headscarf? I'm no big fan of Islam, but the only thing I find really offensive about that pic is the gross looking sandwich in the background.
In Australia, (don't know about the UK or elsewhere) the people who sell "The Big Issue" are usually homeless and many of them have intellectual disabilities (albeit high functioning) or some other social problems that prevent them from getting on in life. DV victims, recovering alco's or whatever. For each magazine they sell, they get a percentage of the cover price. I'm not sure exactly how much but I have heard 50%. It's not much but if you sell 10 a day on a business day, then you get $40 or whatever amount for new undies, socks, a cup of coffee on a cold day etc.
It also gives the an opportunity to get out in the community and socialize, for what it's worth. For many of them, they would not have the social experience to deal with fukwits (even mentally challenged fukwits, who maybe can't help being fukwits) who want to give them a hard time. Anyone who does that knows they are picking on an easy target. They're cunts.
For these people, the short answer is yes, I would intervene. Male/female/white/foreigner whatever. There's a difference between people like this, and screeching harpies that ruin everything for everyone everywhere they go.
I'm a weak, old, overweight beta so I would take the passive route. No need to do the white knight thing and draw your metaphorical sword. There are better ways. You can just accompany them away from the situation until the fuckwits move on. "Hey let's go stand over there for a few minutes and talk." Then when it's over, say bye-bye and let them be to get on with their day and earning some small $$'s for the things most of us take for granted.
Regarding the CEO feminist, nah, she's got her life in check. The chickens have come home to roost.
