Yes, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. The girl has three options:
A) ignore, which can result in abuse like you mentioned. Hopefully it doesn't and he lets her walk away unchallenged.
B) tell them to fuck off, which can result in escalation of the situation on both sides.
C) be polite and ask them to leave her alone, which can result in two adults going their own peaceful ways OR he gets offended and escalates the situation.

You don't have to be a bra-burner to see the world from another point of view once in a while.
