Whose Line Is It Anyway?

 Can you think of a time when you have been physically or verbally disrespected by the opposite gender? I know I can. Here's one example of many: I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where men, guys, and behaviorally boys will attempt to approach me or any female for that matter. Mostly if you reject him he will ask to be your friend and by friend, actually I'm not quite sure of what he means, but it's not the traditional term of 'friends'. In other cases of rejection, he will lash out. For example, this guy that attempted to talk to me got rejected, but he wouldn't listen. I told him I had to go and he wouldn't leave me alone. At this point my mom did not want me to have anything to do with him because he wasn't doing anything with his life. Lastly, he wouldn't stop touching me and coming closer. When he was talking to me he kept grabbing my butt and even after I told him to stop he would not. This is not the only instance that a situation like this has happened. The use of objectification, verbal or physical, has always been too casual. With that being said, why do some victims never speak up? About half the people that are physically or verbally abused never speak up. This goes for everything ranging from rape to mental abuse. When no one speaks up it only gets worst because the abuser thinks that you welcome it and that they have the right to do whatever they want. Many females and males have experienced something like this, but when did the lines get blurred? Was it really my line to begin with? Was it his line to cross? Whose line is it anyway?
