It’s one thing to want to mind your business; it’s another to see someone being viciously attacked and not doing anything about it. Now granted, the men at the scene could have simply talked the man down or even used force to get him away from the woman. However, they decided to watch the events unfold. So, it’s no surprise that folks on social media are disgusted.
“Oh the way I would’ve given his family something to do next week,” one woman commented on Instagram.

“What are we supposed to do?” That just broke my heart so badly. Ladies PLEASE CARRY WEAPONS!,” another person said on IG.
“I’m so tired of women, especially Black women being violated and abused. I hope she can heal from this inside and out. Justice will be served,” another user said.

Interestingly, many people on TikTok attempted to challenge the woman's account and commented that “there is more to the story,” which is disgusting within itself.
Truth be told, people, especially Black women, are frequently brutalized daily by men. And while there are some instances where domestic disputes are both-sided, it’s still wrong no matter which way you look at it.
A woman should have the right to object to a man's advances without fear of being assaulted when doing so. It shows that many men have a twisted sense of entitlement to women and it needs to stop.
