So if I'm out somewhere and a man is beating on his wife I can just sit there and do nothing because her father and/or brother (that she may not even have) should show up and stand up for her? 

Like I said, here is a situation where a woman is in distress and we are going down a laundry list of things/people who are at fault.  That's what we do, we look at someone in a bad situation and come up with reason that person is there on purpose, but when we are in bad situations ourselves we look for every excuse to explain why our own misfortune is circumstantial and not due to our own failings.

This is all starting to seem very Middle East-ey, to me.
