Objectification

Ever since I can remember, my parents raised me to stand up for myself. I was told never to instigate or start a fight, but to be the one to finish it. I was raised to not let others walk all over me. Because of this, I have grown to be a very straight-forward and headstrong person. In a case of objectification, my reaction typically depends on the situation. Most of the time though if I'm the one being objectified, I fire back (typically in a rude way). For example, if someone yells something at me on the street and isn't trying to say it in a rude way or derogatory tone, then I would just ignore it. No need to start a confrontation if it wasn't offensive or intentionally derogatory. BUT, most of the time this is not the case. Majority of the time when I am street harassed  it is vulgar, provocative, offensive, and dehumanizing. I have had people say very inappropriate comments before. In this instance, I would definitely stand up for myself and fire back with an equally degrading comment. I'm pretty quick on my feet so normally this shuts them up.
In contrast, if I am not the one being objectified, normally I just keep my mouth shut. Especially if I don;t know the person then I normally would not say anything. I don't feel that it is my place to say something. I'm not going to fight other people's battles for them. However, if it is someone I'm very close with such as a friend or family member then I might intervene. Again, it depends on the context of how severe the situation is. If it happens repeatedly  and I witness my friend or family member being walked all over then I will stand up for them.
I haven't had a particular situation that stands out to me. Most of the time they never really amount to anything. They say a comment, I fire one back then move about my business.
