Sure, because just by looking around we can automatically tell who will help us vs. who will help our (potential) attacker 🙄😡.
If you see a woman potentially in distress or about to be in a distressing situation go & politely ask if everything is fine & make sure you know all the hidden signals for an SOS.
It's on men to stop making victims, never the otherway round.
You wouldn't tell a child that they shouldn't have been alone with their uncle after they've been raped by that uncle would you?

@Soldusty @Mab_813 I think you are making great points and I didn't mean to suggest it is a woman's responsibility. As a man I have taught my son about being a active bystander who helps and I hope I would also help. My point which I made in a clumsy was that a man is not always sure about the situation.

@Soldusty @Mab_813 Your suggestion about a proper response was much better than mine
