No, adulatory isn’t just adultery’; that’s too simple.
Adultery by consent is not the same as unwilling sex by harassment, or blackmail, or threat of losing income or career.
Emotionally, they are much, much different things.
Many definitions go something like this:
“voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband; also :an act of adultery”
You are correct. Where you are in error is assuming all the women Weinstein was involved with were unwilling participants. So, out of all of them, I will assume, based on human nature, some of them were more than willing to further their acting careers by wilful action on their part. This is part and parcel of Hollywood and has been for many decades. So, adultery is adultery. However, I will give you some of the women were coerced and that needs to be addressed by law as they were not strong enough to stand against Weinstein and he definitely needs to be prosecuted in those cases. Guess I should have explained better in my first post.
