I searched for "Kristopher Oswald" and did not find any previous posts on this subject, so I don't believe this is a dupe.
Check out this story. An employee working the graveyard shift at Wal-Mart who stocks shelves risked life and limb to save a female customer who was being attacked in the parking lot at 2:30 a.m. Wal-Mart fired him two days later for "intervening," but public pressure has forced Wal-Mart to offer this White Knight his job back. He isn't going back. Here are the news links:

My own personal view is that I am no longer willing to risk life and limb to save "strong, independent" women. They've made it clear that they want to be equal. If they want the benefits of equality, they'll also have to pay the costs -- such as keeping themselves safe, as opposed to posing as the "weaker sex" to get men to protect them. It is deeply unfair for women to have it both ways: to be "strong and independent" when it advantages them, but to pose as "damsels in distress" (i.e., the "weaker sex") whenever they need something at men's cost.
Here's the question for the forum: would you have intervened to save this woman?
