In the same way being a rationalist is hard (i.e., it's cognitively difficult.)
My mental model says yes, and I have actually seen it happen twice.
I think this is strictly correct, but I predict better outcomes in the case where one person says to the offender "Hey, that's out of line" than when everyone in the room castigates the offender in unison.
Maybe you meant "what oppression is"? (And maybe that would be a helpful distinction to make in general.)
Do you have some examples for this?
