Answer:

The Aplysia withdrawing it's gills is demonstrating a gill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) phenomenon

Explanation:

The hill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) is involuntary and a defensive reflex. This reflex causes delicate siphon and gill to be retracted when an animal is disturbed.

A two-component reflex is triggered when weak or moderate stimulus is applied to a siphon or the mantle shelf. These two components consist of two reflex acts, the siphon-withdrawal reflex and the gill-withdrawal reflex. Together they often form a reflex pattern with short latency that protects the animals gill and siphon to potentially threatening stimuli.

An habituation in an Aplysia californica for example is which is an Aplysia gills is when a stimulus is presented continously to an animal and there is a progressive decrease in response to that particular stimulus.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Well, it depends on the context and the severity. If they are mad at you when doing it, it could be considered abuse, especially if there are marks on your body from it. If it is jokingly or sarcastic, then no. Clothes hangers and fly swatters don't seem that bad, but of course, I am not you, nor am I in your situation. You won't get much help if you have no proof, so you would have to have maybe some marks or a video or sound recording. Every police officer and social worker has different opinions though, so you could get help from one with no proof and you could not get help from one even if you have proof. I would say, think wisely about what you will do about it and balance the pros and cons before you act on it.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions please let me know :)
