Same for bullying, abuse, etc etc.
One person can see or experience an incident and say its dehumanizing. Another can see it and say its just a dick being a dick.

The actions of others stay the same, but how each of us processes and perceives those actions is different.
I don't know about you, but either as a pedestrian or a cyclist, when I get treated like a meat pylon to close pass with a several ton vehicle, I definitely believe I am being treated as less than human. I think we're just so used to driver supremacy that we just don't notice it.
