Hey everyone, as usual, the moderators want to point out that this topic is heated for several reasons:
Lots of relevant information comes from people’s personal experiences, which will vary a lot.
These situations can be very serious and disturbing, and readers may have experienced appalling episodes.
Harassment and power dynamics are often emotionally loaded and can be difficult to discuss objectively.
Some recent threads on similar topics devolved into fights, sometimes on things very tangential to EA, so we want to ask everyone to be especially thoughtful when discussing subjects this sensitive.
