Sorry wrong section.

You are surely old enough to know it's because society expects males to sort themselves out so can be less well protected and consequently a second class citizen ? You can't expect the women to be treated like that. Big strong male, he can put up with it.

I would have found both scenarios unequally unpleasant, but in the second instance my reluctance to intervene may have been not to further embarrass the guy.

I think that's the best way I can put it.
