Intervening appropriately does not escalate violence, Charles. It deescalates it.

The fact that men bieve there's nothing they can do that will not lead to violence is what keeps you on the sidelines and allows the public social Commons to continue to degrade.

So be it.

But I don't want to hear any male blathering about how women need to be controlled because they're dangerous to men once women begin to violently defend themselves against these men. What other choice do we have at this point?
