I suppose it does sound unrealistic in the world of the overclockers forum where a majority of people would look and walk away

Thread title confusing. Thread confusing. Wuh?

Apparently it's now your National duty to get involved and lay down your life in order to stop arguments.
Think of it as being an over zealous librarian. With nunchuks.
Would the decent human being in you 'kick' a woman that is shouting at her male partner, just in case it turns to violence?
Unless a domestic is clearly very one sided, you should just stay the **** away frankly, call the police if you feel it's not "polite".
Interfering where it is not wanted could quite literally escalate the whole thing and unless you're a psychic, you can't know the disposition of anyone to that who's currently having a visible spat. So unless you're willing to assault someone and potentially land in court, just no.

Police would have probably arrested the woman for trespassing on private property given what you've said. 
Unless there is physical assault involved I'd stay out of other couples affairs, calling the police over a shouting match is just wasting their time.

If you potentially sacrifice yourself (assuming things turn sour - some people have been killed with a single punch if the mainstream media are to be believed) for your honourable principles to better a random stranger in the society that we all live in then you will have sacrificed yourself on behalf of the national civic good. How is this different from combat defending the nation as both are tragic?

I agree, death by violence is tragic no matter the circumstances but equating calming down an argument with going to war is a stretch.How is this different from combat defending the nation as both are tragic?
That's genuinely a sexist attitude.Clearly not, no matter how wrong I would not strike a female
Possibly so, but I simply wont do it even if they are armed.
In war, both sides are usually armed and trained for battle and ready to give up their life for their nation. Walking to M&S, seeking some jerk nick a mobile phone for example from a stranger and being stabbed and dying later after intervening is more tragic I feel, hence the headline.

And why do you think it didn’t?Yeah, that happened.
That’s an utterly bonkers attitude to have. Nothing wrong with having a ‘don’t hit a woman mentality’ in the general sense but are you honestly trying to tell us if a woman attacked you you’d just stand there with a gormless grin on your face while she punched you?
What would you do if you saw a woman attack a man and he laid her out defending himself?
