And bitches wonder why I would have no problem just driving by.

Quite.

There was a big thread at The Register Tech blog where people (men) gave their horror stories about helping not just women, but kids. They provided links to real life cases as well as giving personal anedcotes. All with regard to men having their lives ruined (or just their day spoiled) when playing the good samaritan. It was sobering reading.

I will help anyone where I can, but I have to be sure it won't backfire on me. Most of the time you can't tell if it will or not so discretion is the better part of valour.

We live in bizarro world remember, where up is down and wrong is right. Where you aren't allowed to defend yourself in your own home in the case of a home invasion, but you will be required by law to risk your life when a policeman is being stabbed, and if you don't risk your life, you will be imprisoned for failing to act. We are just a hair's width away from that now.

The last couple of times I've helped people I've paid a serious price. Financially and emotionally. It does hurt when people hit out at you and try to fuck you up just for helping them.

Stories like this are the best possible MGTOW recruitment vehicles.

If so then it is still a win for the enemy because that is what the enemy wants: a divided society where men go their way and women go the other way and every individual goes their own way and is scared of talking to another, there is this deep divide in between all human beings and the government is closer to your soul then a fellow human being.

Guilty as charged, when you put it like that. You have a point.

But let me put a certain hypothetical scenario to you, which is not so hypothetical.

You jump on a tube train in London after the peak hour. The train is totally empty, except for a very beautiful six year old girl.

You find this odd. Six year old girls shouldn't be travelling alone on a tube train in London.

So you approach, as non-threateningly as you can. Something is not quite right here.

My mind was racing. Here I was in a situation where I had to act fast and make the right decision, not just for me but for her as well.

So when the train pulled in to the next stop, I made her get off by herself. I checked the platform and it was totally dead - no people about at all. But that might change at the next corner. It was a chance both she and I would have to make.

---------------------------

She got off the train and I never saw her again in my life.

I still pray that she was OK. I still pray that I made the right decision.

It was a very bizarre incident. I have no idea how her 'mummy' lost her at such a quiet time of the day. I have no idea if it was actually some kind of setup scenario.

All I knew was a man in his late 30's would have some serious explaining to do if he was escorting a reported lost child to 'safety'.

It all happened so fast.



I think I made the right decision. For me. For her.

I know that the station she got off on had an office just up the stairs. This was not a 'Warren St.' type meandering and Labyrinth like underworld. Up a small flight of stairs and she would be safe.

------------------------------------

I am happy to be judged by my peers.

FWIW. You made the wrong decision.

As you acknowledged, it is better to stay with a child until you are able to hand them over to a paid transit employee or a representative of the authorities.

Wariness of unfounded allegations in a situation like this are secondary to personally ensuring the minors safety.

Too much overthinking going on here.
