I can actually explain this:
Male physical intervention into conflict escalates the conflict. The man she refers to was being rude and such, if a man intervenes to stop him, the subway harasser likely becomes *violent*
These women do not understand what that means....

There is no "margine for error." Almost nobody (save for pro UFC fighters) has the strength, power, and skill set to easily subdue someone. A man who becomes criminally violent will often not stop until he is stopped by being knocked unconscious or severely wounded. And...

The man who tries to stop a violent criminal may be killed if he doesn't use enough force and is overpowered by the criminal
And the gap between "getting killed because you didn't use enough force to stop the criminial" and "using so much force the criminal dies" is small...

And no one is smart enough and skilled enough to calculate the exact amount of pushing, punching, choking, etc that will stop a violent harasser without hurting the violent harasser....especially during the chaos of a physical fight when your brain is in fight or flight mode.

Men know physical intervention might result in injury or death, and they will not donit if it means ending up catching an assault or murder charge.

You have to tolerate the consequences of that intervention.
What women can't do is demand men intervene, and then empathize with the criminal who gets hurt and demand the guy who intervened go to jail, cause that's how you get good men to stop protecting you from bad men.
