She explains, "For men it is awkward because there is the long-standing ‘bro code’ that is hard to break and sometimes even the ‘good men’ refrain from adopting active responsibility for fear of being judged or saying something wrong.
“This is referred to as ‘bystander apathy’ – research by American scientists Latané and Darley shows that the larger the room and the crowd, the more likely it is there will be diffusion of responsibility. People tend to believe it is better to mind their own business, keep their head down and avoid conflict when it comes to issues of political correctness.”
