That’s confusing. You can say whatever you wish to yourself. Claiming to yourself you are being forced doesn’t change your expressed actions. Now if instead of saying it to yourself you say it to the other person then you may have a case to make that it is not cnsensual sex.
Are you saying that Laurers power position made this rape regardless of the expressed statements and actions of the other person?
Actually the law pretty much says the same thing, if one is in a power position and senior to another. It may not be enough to be called rape but is enough to be considered sexual harassment on the job. The law in many circumstances treats it the same as statutory rape where a minor cannot consent. I don’t like that, I think it demeans women- as though they cannot think for themselves or have the sense to say no.
I see it different, I think if the sex on the job is consensual they should both be fired. If the woman does not consent then it would be sexual harassment or even rape depending on what happened.
