Guys: When you were a kid, 12 years old or younger, did a girl or girls ever take up for you or defend you? Or, for that matter, did a girl ever bully you?

Roles are kind of changing nowadays.

But some guys feel it’s ignoble if a girl defends you or takes up for you, physically or in a verbal situation, or a situation where you are bullied.

Guys are supposed to be able and ready to fight for themselves.

Girls took up for me quite a bit when I was In elementary school and was picked on by other kids.

I think its ALWAYS best if a bullied person does not have to fend for themselves and someone will make a case for you and defend you.

There also was a really mean girl when I was in sixth grade, maybe more than one, who I was genuinely afraid of because they bullied me. but you never hear about this because guys are ashamed to admit it. No, I don’t think she secretly liked me. Though we have become friends nowadays through class reunions and FACEBOOK.

No guy wants to admit that a girl defended them or stood up for them, or that a girl actually bullied them. However, I was really grateful when a girl stood up for me.

Not sure how people feel about this nowadays, or if any guys will admit it. Guys, even adults, still have a stigma of shame even if they were well defended.
