No Self-AwarenessI had a boss who had no idea of his body odour problem, and everybody was too tactful to break it to him. Not so a visiting Rev Ian Paisley: "What the blazes is that smell? Is it you?" That sorted it. Stories of people blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad manners and foghorn voices.

Oh ok, the expected behaviour is to stand and watchwhilst his wife gets bawled out in the middle of the street. How silly of me.

I was standing up for myselfand didn't need his help. Don't worry, if it had got violent I'd have got him to nip home to pick up the honda accord.

So in conclusion.Standing up for your wife when she's verbally abused in public is both sexist and hardmanning.
OK, good.

Sexist? Hardmanning? You're reading too much into this.My husband didn't join in not because it would have been sexist, but because it just wasn't necessary.
