Seems applicable. Al Franken probably wasn't big enough then to score at will, but what about guys like Weinstein? With his power and money he could have gotten laid with consenting women whenever he wanted. That he went to lengths to force himself on unwilling victims shows that there was something more to it than just sex, and that something is pretty disturbing.
My assumption would be that Al Franken just thought it was funny. And for most of human history, it would have been considered funny. Plenty still find it funny, I assume.
