And there is some validity to that view.

I'm not happy with the way this particular incident has panned out but arguing we should just ignore power relationships when analysing a situation is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I think the power asymmetry was rather limited in this case.

All the people involved in the incident were rather privileged - attendees of a conference that costs hundreds of dollars to attend (not including travel and accommodation).
