While you’re bragging about what a toughy you are

This again.

Oh please. It’s not always that easy, to put it mildly.

Plus people shouldn’t have to “have a way” to deal with various forms of personal interference. We don’t expect to be pushed and slapped and jostled in the street if we happen not to look ferocious for a second. We expect ordinary everyday respect for boundaries. It’s not everyone’s responsibility to scare off attackers, it’s everyone’s responsibility not to be an attacker.

It’s fine to be tough and strong and not a pushover but it’s also fine not to be any of those things. The onus is on the aggressor, not the person aggressed.

Not very complicated, is it.
