Called manager's bluff despite fear of being fired

I stood up to a manager who was being unreasonable and threatening to fire me over a trivial matter.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to handle conflict with my manager in a more professional way without escalating the situation."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let fear hold you back from standing up for yourself, but also be mindful of your tone and approach."
