Where is the line between assertiveness in an environment where people are so-called "equals," and harassment? People (men, women, etc) use leverage to achieve their goals, and most managers in tech aren't equipped to resolve power dynamics.

Most of what guys do to each other to get leverage when they are "equals" would be considered harassment by a gentler temperament.

There is a counter narrative to the progressive political one that has some valid questions.
