Sorry, it will be not a very kind comment and a bit of a rant—upper American class on this forum keeps saying “if you are in a position of power you should be very considerate of others and their boundaries, and give them space, because sometimes they may feel pressured to agree with you and find it hard to speak up”. Yeah, exactly.
Other people. I feel that certain perspectives on the forum are expressed very strongly, and with little consideration towards other points of view. One of them is “if you are in a position of power you should be considerate towards those who are not as they may feel pressured by you” which I agree with. But the same person sometimes also very strongly expresses some other view, regarding, i.e. dating, full of “shoulds” and often strongly rooted in the US norms and culture (in my perspective). I simply find it ironic.

I’m actually a bit confused about what you mean. Can you elaborate? Also, are you criticizing me or other people?
