Interacting with non-Muslims

Unmarried woman freezing her eggs and using them when she gets married
Q: I want to know if it permissible for women to freeze their eggs while they're optimal and use them later when they get married? As they have not found a suitable spouse as yet then it won't be a stress to have kids later.
Playing games that contain blasphemy
Q: While playing video games, if the character we are playing utters or does something blasphemous, do we lose our imaan.
1. Does blasphemous talk involve Christians cursing too?
2. What is the definition of blasphemy?
3. What if while playing a game, I accidentally chose a character whose dialogue is known to have blasphemy in it. But, during the entire duration of the play, that character did not say any such thing. However, since I know that the character says such things in other instances of the game (even though those instances did not come when I was playing), I am now worried about my imaan.
Would my imaan be in danger because of this and will I have to redo my nikah?
Women going out to learn how to use a gun
Q: Are women allowed to learn how to use a gun (lessons) but the basics only?
Feelings of hatred for one's brother
Q: My father ordered me to respect my older brother but if my older brother insults me or yells at me, can I insult him with the same insult and use the same tone of voice. I don't respond to his abuse due to my dad's order which may make my older brother think I fear him furthering the abuse and my hatred toward him.
I feel like if I don't respond to him and the steam keeps building up in my heart and we fight one day (may Allah protect us both), one of us may end up in jail. If I could just throw some of his abuse back in his face maybe all of this corrosive hatred that I have toward him may go away. But right now I can't sit next to him due to all the hatred I have for him.
As weird as it sounds, me being able to respond to him may actually help ties of kinship because with my sister with which I fight verbally when there's a heated disagreement I feel like I couldn't feel this hatred for her in a sustained manner but with my brother I feel hate toward him just by thinking about him.
Respecting a person to save oneself from his harm
Q: If someone wants us to respect him and it is for his ego, is it shirk if we still respect him? As we fear that if we don’t then he may beat us a bit and we’ll be humiliated.
