My partner and I were leaving the gas station and I saw a man bent into a car window and I could hear a woman sounding uncomfortable with his closeness. I told him I wanted to wait a min just make sure it's ok. He told me it's fine they must know each other. Once I moved further I saw a guy in her car so I assumed she's somewhat safe and we carried on. But I posed a question. I asked him if you see a woman looking uncomfortable would you just turn a blind eye. He told me that the hypothetical situation was none of his business just like this situation was none of mine and I need to stop being annoying and obnoxious. Mind you, I didn't say anything I just silently observed while pretending to be distracted. So then I referenced our daughter and asked if he feels it's ok for others to pretend to not be aware or engage when things seem off in regard to her? He said how dare I wish that on her etc. Made a whole fjt without saying bystanders should react or not. I kept asking if it would be different if it was her? Basically he implied that sexual assault and the like isn't a common thing at all. And then he got even more mad because I told him that realistically it's not about "if" it happens but "when" because I know way too many women/girls that have already faced this. And somehow he still seemed unmoved and I just want to know... Is my silent hyper vigilante wrong or is his IDGAF attitude wrong?
