There’s limited research on this, but what I have seen is if you’re a woman and being attacked or intimidated by a man, a middle aged woman is the most likely to intervene. Anecdotally, you can see this online. Watch a tick-tock post were women are being verbally attacked in the comments by men, you will rarely see other men intervening and calling it out. So, even when there is no physical threat to a man they don’t step in. I’d love to see some content analysis on this.

it's almost like women are conditioned by their treatment in society to be constantly vigilant to the possibilities of threat... 😔

Can we also acknowledge that this man could have had bad intentions towards all 3 of those women and randomly chose Ariana because she was on the open end of the group. He could have had intentions to attack any or all of them depending on his opportunity. Cynthia Erivo didn’t just protect Ariana, she put herself in exceptional danger to do so.

The man even documented what he was going to do - he's done it multiple times.

The way Michelle was pulling Ariana away while Cynthia pushed him away. Such a coordinated defense that they didn't even have to think about. And then both of them immediately holding her so she can get grounded again.

Women who are not protected are always aware of what is happening. You have to stay ready.

There is absolutely no excuse for how those paid security failed to react! Cynthia was in between him and Ariana before the bodyguards even realised what was happening. They don't protect, they never protect even when it's their paid employment and responsibility!

Cynthia stepped in before any of the guards. She acted quicker than trained bodyguards. Women are natural protectors.

She's awesome. We have the sixth sense and are alert to possible threat, als our peripheral vision is apparently better. If you are in trouble in public it is better to shout Mum!! or Fire!! than Help! unfortunately 😕

Yes, and she wasn't even the closest person to her! A few men were even closer to Ariana when it started than Cynthia was but she still got there first

Everything about Cynthia Erivo's stance just screamed protection to me. She was making her body a shield, almost curving it around her friend to keep her from harm and she let go when Ariana told her she was OK. She is an awesome example to everyone.
