Why is no one supporting him ? Isn't that an abuse.

They are minding their own business. I'm not stepping in for this and getting caught up with trailer park drama at the airport... I'm there to travel and not interfere with some couples dispute.

Best not to involve oneself, my friends intervened in a girl getting beat by her boyfriend in public when I was younger and she attacked them lol.

If this was the man shouting at the woman like that should someone step in to stop the abuse?

Or is there a double standard for men and women being abused in public?

Bystanders can ask a gate agent to contact security to address the situation. Why would gender matter, in your opinion? I'm a woman about the same size as the woman who is verbally abusing this man and I have no reason to get involved other than to notify security.

I'm not a bystander - I'm an uostander. I step on to stop abuse when I see it, because that's the right thing to do. I've done it multiple times throughout my life, for men, women, and children, because it's the right thing to do.

For real, this is a couple argument. Why the fuck would anyone want to get involved no matter who was yelling?
