Simple experiment. Ask the men in your family how many times and how often they get harassed and then ask the women.

This has nothing to do with fragility or being mentally strong.

Bro. I am in harassable. If u decide to get agitated and extra with methemn I'll make you regret it. Learned that from grandmother.

Bully smacked me up. I came home crying. She cleaned me up and sent me back to find him. She told me to go at him every time I saw him til he ran when he saw me coming.

Bullies run when u punch them in the nose. Generally cowards. So just clown them and verbally smack them around. Call frens to help. They want a soft target. They don't usually come back.

Or.... Cry and censor. Different strokes but somebody has to smack the bully. U r just outsourcing and centralizing the smack hand. I am willing to be the consequence of their bad behavior.

No judgment. Just observation.

Ok, so you have no empathy. No judgement. Just observation.

Is it possible that not all bullies run away? That bullies may bring along more bullies? Is it possible that sometimes a person cannot fight back?

This isn’t elementary school. Out in the real word people and groups can be outmatched. Asking for help isn’t a crime.

if i see a bully picking on you its my duty to help as it is yours to help me or any other member of the community so afflicted. This is not the schoolground. There are far less random 6 year old mindsets wandering about. However there are habitual line steppers who, if not sternly rebuked by the community members that encounter it, wreak havoc in a community. That is the purpose of community. so that no one stands alone or at the mercy of the bureaucracy.

That first note was about the topic at hand. this one is personal.

You began your reply with an ad hominem. You said I have no empathy or judgement. That is a terrible thing to say to someone. why do you feel the need to attack me? I wont be afraid or cower so no point but am curious. Why the attack. next . "This isnt elementary school" is a jab at my maturity level.

This is unnecessary and hostile behaviour. Be better.

It's interesting that this thread devolved into insults and sarcasm by the fella complaining about harassment. Odd behaviour. Unnecessary. Not how to build community. Community has each others back. Holler if you are being harassed. I really dont mind. Yes. even this rude fellow.
