Are we talking about bullies in the schoolyard or bullies at work place or bullies at international level or anything goes and this is an all encompassing topic? I ask because we may need different tactics to deal with different types.
I meant in general. Trump was just an example.
if a bully in the schoolyard keeps making fun of a kid's hair, is that kid one day allowed to say "you are a ugly bitch, you shouldn't comment on others"
if at work place someone is knowingly constantly patronizing you and is dismissive of your work, even after you have complained about it and reported it multiple times, is it then fair to namecall them?
or in more intimate relationship: if a girlfriend is very controlling and nagging and one day guy flips and calls her a bitch or a c**t...do you think its fair?
and parents. this is bit more controversial because of regards for elders in our society but there are abusive and controlling parents in our society too. There are parents who will keep controlling until the child not only answers back but actually rebels...does the kid during is rebellion still uphold politeness and civility.
And public figures, including Trump: is it fair to namecall the leakers of nudes (or any personal matter) of actresses and actors?
Just to make sure here we are talking about rudeness as outburst of anger and frustration and hurt when dealing with your bully. Its about when your polite requests and logical arguments are dismissed. Do you think by being rude to some someone who has been constantly rude to you for the longest time, you are stooping to their level?
