You don’t want them to hurt anyone, but to stop the attack. When a boy kept pinching a girl’s bra at school, the teacher told her just to ignore it. The girl told the boy to stop, but he didn’t.
Eventually, the boy managed to undo her bra, so the girl turned and hit him. You would think that the girl was completely justified in standing up for herself. It was completely inappropriate for the boy to mess with her bra and then unhook it.
Do you know how the school reacted? The school decided that the girl deserved to be punished. She hit another student after all! Sounds fair – right?! Well, the girl’s mother didn’t think so. The mother told the principal that her daughter had simply protected herself from a sexual attack.
