Also, just because you're right doesn't mean you get to behave badly.

True.

I have yet to run across any justification for behaving badly.

Well, maybe excepting the Texas legal argument, "He needed killin'."

"well-behaved women rarely make history"

Also, notwithstanding the number of brilliant people who have been called crazy in the past, just because people say you're crazy doesn't mean you're right.

True 'nuf. Given my family history and my personality and god knows what else, it's taken me a long time to figure that one out, and to act on it, i.e. establishing boundaries about how I allow myself to be treated.

So the corollary might be something like...

Just because you're empathic and understanding, you don't have to be a doormat.
