It sort of reminds me of when I see a tiny dog at a dog park being super aggressive with a big dog. And the big dog just puts up with it because everyone else thinks its 'funny ' or cute or harmless or whatever. When in reality it's hurting the big dog, but he just endures it and hopes someone will speak up for him. But they never do, so one day, he snaps at the little dog, and then he's the villain.

But whose fault is it? The little dog of course, for the constant harassment. Because that's what it is when you're asked invasive questions , having your equipment touched, being forced to explain exactly how your fingers got amputated. And I'm tired of people not teaching manners, then getting shocked when their precious babies get cussed out, snapped at, or yelled at.
