We seem to have a chasm filled with false dilemmas and misunderstandings here.

1. Very few people fault anyone for stopping a guy from smacking a girl around in a parking lot. In fact, I'll call that admirable. That's assault. It's happening you can stop it. But if the only reason you stop it is because it's a girl, well you're a dick. No one is fond of getting beaten.

2. The violence that is being decried is pre-meditated. For example, girl shows up to school with a black eye, says her boyfriend did it. Posse rounded up and boyfriend is beaten up. This creates two problems. The first being vigilante justice. We have a court system and cops to take care of this sort of thing.

The second problem is that the posse is uninformed and highly biased. What if she did hit first? Pulled a knife? She won't tell you that if she wants his ass kicked. You just play right into her estrogen laden tentacles. It won't stop any situation in this case. It might just escalate it.
