We gotta look out for each other in the age of misogyny

Is that really the best line? She has to leave to take advantage of it.
Maybe, “hey, how'd your husband's parole hearing go?”?
It makes it clear what the random girl is trying to do, and allows the girlfriend to reply with anything from “not yet, let’s take a break over there” to “yeah I’m ready let’s go”.
How many times have you thought of the perfect response to someone hours after the fact?
It’s good that she stepped in to offer help at all.
It's so common the French have a two (or four I don't speak French or apostrophe) words for it. L'esprit d'escalier. Wit of the step stack hallway.

That sounds much less organic and believable.
"Hello my dear friend, your excessively muscular husband is outside asking for you. They won't let him in on account of the firearms he is carrying. Oh hello fine sir, I did not see you there, pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm an heiress of the McDonald laminate empire (no relation hahaha), and have a black belt in karatay, charmed I'm sure. We know each other (pointing at the woman)."
I prefer this because it makes the physical threat more present and believable (and doubly so, bc of the inclusion of the black belt) while also establishing personal dominance.
On one hand, there is a girl she would've wanted to accept the date and this would be blocking her.
On the other hand, it's genuinely much more funny lmao.
No, because if Girl A was interested she would have the option to turn down Girl B very easily.
Girl B is giving Girl A the option for a clean out, which is all that is needed to help someone out of an awkward situation.
Nah, this reinforces the idea that men only ought to behave when there's another man to keep them "in line".
Understandable when necessary for physical safety.
I reckon that gym woman's original wording was perfect.

I'm a dude. I was in the Bahamas on a trip and there was a girl in our group who was a drop-dead gorgeous black woman. The Bahamian men were going ape over her. She and I were walking along the beach, and men kept coming up, asking if I was her boyfriend, and when I said no they'd start proposing marriage and shit.
She informed me my job the rest of the day was to say "Yes" if a random dude asked if we were dating/married/etc.
