Was in my day too (I'm almost 70). Stuff I stood up against weren't those kind of things but it made adults angry that I didn't cooperate with their thinking or what whey wanted me to do & was willing to tell them NO in no uncertain terms.
Was assertive with a guy beating on his dog. He threatened to hit me & I told him go ahead cause it would land him in jail. Lol.... I was 5 ft & about 100 lbs at that time. They always said the smallest dogs gave the nastiest bite.....smallest people too.
I kinda learned to stick up for myself because my parents didn't have a clue how to even stick up for themselves.
My daughter appreciated my sticking up & being assertive. She learned well too.
I never got involved unless it was beyond what she could handle....but then my logical mind attacked illogical people & every time, she won & they realized they better respect her. Only had to happen a couple of times
