One of the beliefs of humanistic individualist dignity cultures is that one should not be harmed for being their ownself. Be it openly practising homosexual or watching My Little Pony at your 30s, its quite a common to see an uproar over bullying over stuff that doesn't hurt others in the Western news. For example.
Some self defense instructors such as Marc MacYong always mention though that the best way to avoid bullying is to avoid doing something that attracts the bully's attention and makes him feel emotionally strong about to get involved with you. So this question is more of an opinion one (though heavily related to bullying).
Would you fellow posters recommend to avoid doing something such as wearing a Sailor Moon t-shirt in public or bringing around a barbie doll and playing with it in university? I mean the assumption of dignity culture of the right for the individual to be themselves is such that I notice everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room that is AVOIDING attracting attention by doing abnormal stuff in the first place! I mean the fact something as minor as banning My Little Pony backpacks at school is so controversial in western culture it made it to front page news.
Is it worth trying to follow the "right to be yourself" at the possibility of being a target by predators?
