I wouldn't expect feminists to feel the need to be silent on any issue of obvious selfless bravery in defence of others, runner.

Though I would expect them to lament the need for such bravery in the first place and then point to links such as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers

and suggest you find the females…

then draw a conclusion rather than contrast a public transport offer of a seat.

Bravery is not restricted by sex or age.
Bigotry is not either.
But some comments come from a fixed unmovable position, and rather than bigotry are just the best that person can produce.
The God I once knew has followers who do not even begin to understand his teachings.

Dear runner,

To the best of my knowledge feminists want:

1. Equal pay for equal work
2. Control of their own bodies
3. The respect that every human regardless of sex should have

What do you think they want?

Runner, I heard of another young woman, who followed her close friend to the floor after she was shot, in the neck I believe.

This young woman put her hand into the wound that was gushing blood. At the same time she used her phone to ring the police.

The wounded young woman begged her to run. She did not leave her friends side until they got to safety.

It was luck for most in that theatre that the gun jammed.
Bravery and the ability to assist has little to do with gender.

runner, all that occurred is that they helped a friend. I notice, it was man holding that gun. What does that mean in.

'runner, all that occurred is that they helped a friend. I notice, it was man holding that gun. What does that mean in.'

It sounds to me she was very much a hero as were the young men. So its nice to know that there are many woman out their who are not into the usual feminist sport of man bashing.

Reading any number of posts by prominant feminist indicate they want a lot more than your assertions. No one could argue that your description of what any person would want is fair.
