Of course, without electroweak symmetry breaking and in the absence of elementary particle masses, decays look very differently. What you are referring to however, are different symmetries which are completely absent in the weak interactions, C and P symmetry, which are something entirely different from the electroweak symmetry which is supposed to be broken by the Higgs.
Actually, this has nothing to do with the concept of supersymmetry. There may not be supersymmetry in nature at all, while all that was said above remains valid.
If you assume supersymmetry in the first place, you have to explain how you hide/spontaneously break it, but it might not be there at all.
