Sir/Lady, you are talking on the internet. People won’t know where your “here” is 😉

Yes. Violence, by definition, requires physical force

It’s possible to define it like that, but it’s definitely not universally the case and seems overly restrictive. Just one example from the WHO’s World report on violence and health:

Violence at work involves not only physical but also psychological behaviour. Many workers are subjected to bullying, sexual harassment, threats, intimidation and other forms of psychological violence.

Words are not physical violence

The person you respond to didn’t say that words are physical violence.

Do you believe the only form of violence is physical violence?
