If you go that route you can extrapolate to some absurd degree. Basically any relationship with a power imbalance becomes sexual harassment.

Congrats you just figured out divorce laws and alimony from first principles.

Wow you are mere inches from understanding the concept of sexual harassment. Keep going!
So is Huang only allowed to have sex with Lisa Su or something? But even then Nvidia dwarfs AMD in power.
There is always Elon I guess…
100% of his relationships have been with nvidia subordinates and business partners. You realize there are more women on the planet right?
> 100% of his relationships
*that we know of
You mean infantilising adults and denying their agency to feel better about yourself.
Obviously it depends from case to case and there are certain lines that shouldn’t be crossed but otherwise consenting adults should be free to make their own decisions.

You do understand the issue of mixing consent with power imbalance?

Got it, that's why I only date girls within this criteria:
* My age +/- 2 years
* Comparable emotional and intellectual development
* Same level of education
* Earns as much money as me +/- 10%
* Total net worth +/- 10% of mine
* Muscular, so we are of comparable strength
* Exact same cultural and ethnical background
* No chronic disease or disabilities, as I do not have any and that would be an unfair advantage
* Reads Hacker News pathologically frequently, so we both know when to short NVIDIA at about the same time
Yes, you can extrapolate, and our society does. This is why ministers aren't supposed to have relationships with their clergy, therapists are not supposed to have relationships with their clients, lawyers, doctors, etc. The list goes on and on.
Can become, yes. Depends a bit on what exactly the nature of the power imbalance is. Which is why there are usually strict rules about relationships with your reports and how to resolve the situation. Like reporting it to HR so the work positions can be shifted in a way to move positions so that there is no longer a reporting relationship between the two.
