“I'm guessing that is in the strictest legal sense, given that they are lawyers. And sure - it's incredibly hard to prove a legal pattern of discrimination or harassment in the United States. That's…not the point. There's a vast area of conduct that's legal, but still shitty. Some examples:
Using your employees’ past words against them at work
Telling marginalized people they're reading too much into something
Using your name and your status to push for antitrust legislation that benefits your company while simultaneously telling people to stop “being political” at work
Hosting a mayoral candidate's campaign headquarters in your company's office while pretending that work is apolitical
Using transform: rotate(-1deg); on your blog's subscribe card to make it look slightly askew”
