As we weigh in on the VP Mohadi sex scandal involving his subordinate, let us be clear that is not a mere case of consenting adults having extra marital sex. It is about how power impacts consent.
A thread.

The Vice President wields political power by virtue of his position. While he might not have threatened this woman, how comfortable would she have been saying no to sex knowing his position and influence and the negative consequences of not consenting??

Consent will always be complicated if one partner holds more power than the other. This is why we call it abuse of power because he is using it to gain sexual latitude which might not otherwise have been availed to him in the absence of the power.
