Having been on the receiving end of both from my childhood peers; a punch doesn't hurt the next day.

Are you saying that boy nerds don't also get ostracized?

I was calling myself out as a non-typical case which received both (as a boy) only to point out exactly how one can just walk away from a punch in the face.
