    Generally here the issue is re gf/bf situations. When I would expect her to walk off and dump the 2@ she was with.
    To put it in context this was a gf/bf thing. He was 18 or so and she was 14. He was also a reasonably big guy and ran up behind her and started throwing punches. There was not a lot she could do.

    In contrast my gf (now wife) was attacked by a rapist with a knife once and proceeded to floor him and chase him. He got away because she had heels and he had trainers on. Her ex boyfriend once had a tantrum and tried to get physical with her, she punched him to the ground and threatened to kill him if he ever tried it again.

    Luckily neither of them could actually hit so I immediately got back up and carried on where I left off but ended up facing two of them instead of one.

    I would do it again (although not the getting whacked over the back of the head part). I hope that if my daughter was ever getting assaulted in the street someone would try to help her, I don't feel I have a right to ask that of anyone if I am not prepared to do the same myself.

    Why on Earth do women think those vile pouty slug lips are attractive to men?
    They're attractive to Sun readers presumably

    I have however intervened in such situations especially when I know the couple. I normally walk up and ask a stupid question. It gives both sides time to calm down.

    of course if it were a man I have to laugh - apparently. - This story is the origin of the picture

    Would you intervene if you saw a woman attacking a man? - Telegraph

    I would like to think that I would help a woman in distress. But I know that, although it was 15 years ago in Paris, I once encountered a woman being mugged off her handbag by some bloke who accosted her in the middle of the road. I didn't have the balls to dive in there and help her (even though it would have been a guaranteed sh@g in reward (French women )) I just stood there, helpless and useless

    I had to google her.

    Josie Cunningham's 7 stupidest statements after she announces she is selling tickets to watch her give BIRTH - 3am & Mirror Online

    Her wish to be famous was granted when she admitted she was considering aborting her unborn child for the chance to appear in Big Brother.

    Why didn't I stop to help a woman in need? - Telegraph

    I would not help for 3 reasons :-
    1. The woman would probably turn on me.
    2. I am a coward
    3. It feels vaguely sexist - why does being a woman make any difference

    I do hope if MrsBP ever turns on me in public then someone will help me out.
