I talked once with a FBI agent about this very subject. He said it is very important for women to not believe they have to be nice. Especially if someone is name calling them in order to get them to be compliant. Women may feel we need to be nice so that we won't be seen as a b*tch.

He said he even talks with his wife about this, and other women in his life, to teach them how important this is.

Believing we have to be nice, even in dangerous circumstances, can make us vulnerable to manipulation.

Insults may be hurled at us, people may try to then coax us to be compliant, we need to shrug all that off quickly and get completely away from them.

The destructive group I was part of used manipulation to keep us in line. As a woman, I was expected to be nice, to not question, and to do as told.
