This may not be correct, but I heard a preacher some years back discuss turning the other cheek. As it was written and concerning roman society; i believe they were right handed. "Turning the other cheek" forced the slapper to use the improper hand to get a good slap on a slave, therefore making the disciplining entity act shamefully by using the wrong hand.

Same as giving a man your shirt and cloak. It was a shame back then to look at a naked man, moreso than being the naked man yourself.

I don't know if any of that is true, but it is interesting considering civil disobedience is on everyone's mind as of late, and for good reasons, i'm sure.
