    Not every power imbalance is automatically coercive.

    The problem is that power imbalances make it impossible to establish consent:

    • The underling has no guarantee that refusing will not result in retribution.
    • The superior has no way to know if the underling’s agreement is true consent or if it was out of fear of retribution.
