Show Notes

In this episode of the Underrepresented in Tech postcast, Allie and Michelle talk about the idea that people who harass or take advantage of others based on power differences typically prefer to affect people "below them." This is why you may find it hard to believe that someone is behaving inappropriately, since you may never have seen that behavior yourself.
