The thing is when you deny a person who doesn't mind being this disrespectful they take offense to it and start geting hostile. I can put in headhones, walk past someone faster or simply ignore it like most women do although this isn't something I should have to deal with.
My issues comes in when the hostility begins, I can try to continue to converse with these men to keep the hostility down but I shouldn't have to. This happens often, men become hostile and aggressive and the people around just watch, why don't they speak up on behalf of the woman. I have far before this and I always will but if we defended each other no one would have to contact the police.
