hi ShadowMystic7
Of course. Men are programmed that way even die for people you do not know - well women and kids.

In the movies the Dark Knight does not always save his lady, but in the Aurora theater the story unfolded differently. The male instinct to rescue and protect kicked in the way it does in less complicated superhero tales. At least three of the 12 victims of the shooting died because they were physically protecting the women they came to the movie with. Alex Teves, 24, used his body as a shield to cover his girlfriend. He was shot, and she survived. Matthew Robert McQuinn threw his body in front of his girlfriend, Samantha Yowler. He too was killed, and she was pulled to safety by her brother, Nick Yowler. Jonathan Blunk, 26, pushed his girlfriend, Jansen Young, under a seat. Again, he was killed, and she got out after the shooting was over. Young crawled out and realized she and her boyfriend were alone in the theater, only he was really wet, and she couln’t believe what had happened, so she tried to convince herself that someone must have thrown a water balloon. (Here is Young in one of the saddest Today show videos ever, her trying to match the steady upbeat tones of the format while talking about gruesome stuff: “I think John just took a bullet for me,” she says. “He provided me the opportunity to survive.”)
Best wishes

@sogdianrock Deep. Are women similarly programmed to save children they don’t know ? My sister once saved a little girl from drowning. There were others around, but she said she had to do it. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard I remember about Aurora and similar incidents were reported in the Las Vegas tragedy.

hi bijouxbroussard ·
sure. Good for your sister! Such action is a moral imperative.
I have a friend who jumped in a river to save a book! That impressed me hugely too.

haha person of course but my friend loved her book and it was her life to risk. I applaud her but I would have stopped her doing it if I had been there.
