//Summary:
In this video, Relationship Coach Janelle breaks down a powerful Huffington Post article explaining the bystander effect and why men often don’t stand up to other men when women are being harassed or made uncomfortable. Using research from psychology and gender studies, the episode explores how masculinity norms, peer pressure, fear of social consequences, and loyalty to male groups contribute to silence in bars, workplaces, schools, and public spaces. While both men and women can experience the bystander effect, studies show women are more likely to intervene—raising important questions about male accountability, gender socialization, and cultural conditioning.

This conversation goes deeper than surface-level commentary, connecting the bystander effect to modern dating dynamics, women’s safety, and emotional labor placed on women to protect themselves. Janelle also discusses how redefining masculinity around community protection, empathy, and values-based action can shift harmful norms—and why women must pay attention to men’s behavior in moments that test character. This episode is essential viewing for anyone interested in dating with intention, understanding male behavior, recognizing red flags early, and navigating relationships in today’s social climate.
