rapeculturerealities:from herethis is super helpful, and helping others in situations of harassment is important whenever possible. but at the same time we need to remember that ITS OKAY TO NOT STEP IN. Contrary to this ad, ITS NOT YOUR JOB to stop street harassment. You have to judge based on the situation and your comfort level- people have been killed for stepping into situations like this (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30266806 to name just one). If you feel unsafe DO NOT allow yourself to be shamed into intervening. It’s NOT OKAY that people experience harassment, or that people harass. But it’s NOT YOUR DUTY/OBLIGATION to put yourself in an unsafe situation. -- source link
