Easy:
Trapped = Can't get away
Power Gradient = one side has the power and the other has none, leading to greater imposition of dominance over the victim
Aren't you a policeman, Punisher? Or am I getting mixed up? It's just that I would've expected such concepts to be especially clear to one whose profession involves the socially sanctioned execution of such as part of their duty (I don't mean that to sound insulting, tho it does read that way ).
The concepts are very clear to me. It's just that many times they are defined with words that mean different things to different people, so I wanted them to define the words how they thought they meant. Anytime people talk about emotional issues they use words that will mean something different to different people so you can have a whole audience listen and make them think that they are speaking to them (Listen to any political speech and the words they use ie: "hope").
So to put the shoes on the other foot, you have an authority figure giving a speech and going on an anti-gay rant. When you attempt to leave, you are yelled at again by the speaker for leaving. Do you think that they media would call that person's behavior "bullying"? Not that the person is or isn't a bullly, but that the specific behavior could be construed as bullying behavior. In this case, I think that the behavior was an attempt to bully to get those kids to stay and listen to what he had to say.
