Flattered and even when this flatter y is degrading. I remember i was no more than 11 years old and it continued throughout middle and high school and i remember not being able to understand why men spoke to me when i clearly was not of age to be listening to be listening to those types of comments. And it impacts every single female friend that i had. Ben called this reaction what it was sexist and critics wondered why he chose to go back to retrieve his wallet they claimed this would not have happened if he had just gotten a cab but people are missing the point every human being regardless of whether they are a man or woman should be able to walk on the city streets free from harassment and violence. Dress is not an open invitation and they should not have further abuse heaped on them by the public for being responsible for another persons crime or abuse. Ben and his girlfriend wrote from the hospital they said now for the folks that have never met us not once have only heard our sto

Ben was attacked in our neighborhood after taking a stand at the verbal abuse directed at his girlfriend he was returning from a party Early Saturday Morning and passed a man making threats to her and after crossing to the other side of the street and being followed ben asked the perpetrator and punches were thrown and ben ended up being stabbed 9 times in the back, face and neck and arms with the knife narrowly missing his spinal cord but puncturing his lung.
