We've all seen the news lately about the Tangsh...
We've all seen the news lately about the Tangshan incident where a woman was beaten by three men and onlookers did nothing to help. We've all breathed a collective sigh of disgust. Ok, now what? Is this a new problem? Unfortunately it is not, but thankfully it's now a major and public conversation._x000D_

Should men be expected to jump into a fight in progress to defend women? What if it means probably getting hurt themselves? Should there be a punishment for people who don't help? Should women stay away from places where people are drinking? Should they refrain from wearing provocative clothing? Should they not fight back? What about smaller, weaker men... should they also be scared?_x000D_

What is the greater issue here? Do we in fact live in a civilized society where women don't have to worry about such things? Was this an isolated incident or a sign of something more common?_x000D_

是否应该期望男性保护女性?如果这意味着可能会受伤呢?不帮忙的人应该受到惩罚吗?女性应该避免晚上出门吃宵夜吗?应该避免穿着暴露吗?她们不应该反击吗?那些更弱小的男人,他们也应该害怕吗?_x000D_

这件事显现出的更大的问题是什么?我们生活在一个文明安全、女性不必恐慌的社会吗?这件事只是个例还是常见的社会事件?_x000D_
