If a woman is being attacked, I would find it infinitely worse to see a progressive man walk away. "Oh, she'll just get offended if I help." The same if she's on a date and the man becomes boorish. If she can't shake him off, if she needs to flee the scene, we expect bystanders to step in to help. That's a sign of a civilized society.
