I don't believe I would have

a woman getting raped isn't "your problem" so why intervene?

because it's the right thing to do, perhaps. you may disagree on what is right or wrong, but many would see it that way.

then the question becomes the personal cost of intervening

if you don't object to the Ukraine war on the question of right or wrong, the next most common objection seems to be that we shouldn't put our own skin (read: money) in the game

the question of intervention then becomes a cost/benefit analysis of intervening balanced against whether or not you think you can affect positive change

seems straightforward and apropos to me

But is this about affecting positive change, or is it about sticking it to an perceived enemy?

It's like sending tools to a rape victim on the other side of the world and asking her to get raped some more in the hope she might hurt the rapist somehow because we don't like that rapist

Damn. That's very parallel to what happened to Pooky in New Jack City.

That's one way to look at it I guess

Operative phrase is "other side of the world"

So you are of the school of passively submitting during rape?

Gotcha!

That explains a lot.
