Mmm, this tactic seems more like half-assed instigation than self-defense. It would seem better to dismiss the taunt than confirm it.
A "yeah, whatever" is probably better than your crazy guy routine. "Hell yeah, I'm a..." only confuses and thus angers the aggressor.
Using this move? I wouldn't say you're a coward, but you certainly sound like a dumbass.

One of the big problems with modern bullying is how the touchy-feely Dr. Phil shit has prevented physical altercations so well... so well that it seems most bullies today rely strictly on verbal attacks to make their victims feel like garbage. It's very covert, a low-intensity emotional conflict. There are no shell casings ejected from a mouth, no gunshot wounds on the victims, and no evidence to collect after the damage has been done.
