Taking Revenge Against An Elder Oppressor
Best is to get away ftom such situation if possible. Second is to show your strength or ability to defend and scare the other. If it is parents, no the person can’t disrespect or strike back but defend himself only. All other elders don’t matter in such situation.
As indicated in the response, established norms and ways are adopted. One is not supposed to slap back one’s father, for example, one has to comolain his oppressions to other peolme like thr elders in the family or police or court.
