I dread situations like that. You don't want to be the person who turns a blind eye, but at the same time intervening can be messy and/or dangerous.

What happens when it's a lesbian couple fighting and one hits the other?

Well, seeing as it wasn't a couple that was fighting in the first place, it was just some random jackass harassing a woman who had already threatened to call the police, and only one of the two were fighting - the woman was just trying her damnedest to get away despite being closed in on the subway - it's not even remotely the same situation. I decline to answer such an obviously leading question.

It is a serious question, would you have reacted the same if the person being harassed was a man?

No. First of all you wouldn't ever see a woman doing what I saw that man doing, second of all a man would try to defend himself. And if I did, my first reaction would be try to restrain the woman until the authorities got called.
I'm really glad that you're openly implying that you wouldn't have done anything to try to defend someone being thrown to the ground and smacked around repeatedly, though. As if I needed any additional proof that you're a fucking sociopath.
I wasn't leading. It was a serious question. I wasn't talking about a lipstick-lesbian pillow fight like in the movies.
Plenty of spousal abuse happens in gay and lesbian couples too.
I was just wondering as a conversational exercise, what you, or anyone in this conversation, would do if they saw two women fighting and one of them was obviously larger and stronger and either threatening to, or in the process of, beating up the other.
Also, I think Smf was asking about the same situation, except with two gay men instead of two lesbians.
Does one jump in and defend the person being attacked, and if so, how?

dumb discussion.
I'd jump in any fight to defend someone if
-I thought they should be defended
-I thought I could do it without getting myself killed
Of course if it was a fight involving homosexuals (of any gender) I'd just step aside and let them beat each other up. Maybe I'd call all my nazi gay-bashing friends to go to work on the one who won the fight.
(I don't mean any of that, I'm exaggerating to show what a stupid question that is)
