Power is enacted through multifarious means, with wealth being one of them. Wealth isn't a requisite for power. Generally in the US, positions of power are held by men, because of (or in spite of) an interconnected system of laws, norms, and a history of (generally) men telling people what to do. And those gender-based ideas enacted in laws and norms and our culture have percolated through our society to affect everyone in ways we often can't detect.

The point is that yes, for these reasons and many others, we should "believe women when they report harassment in the workplace."

Name the other sources of power in the United States in the year 2017. Whatever you can come up with, none of it is as significant as wealth.

You did not answer my question. Do you think abuse of power will suddenly end once the majority of wealthy individuals are women instead of men?

It could be you or your family having connections to powerful people. Being famous. But what's important as it pertains to our conversation: being in an authoritative position, e.g. a teacher, law enforcement officer, manager, or company executive. All of these people can have an influence, or "power," over others -- including, but not limited to, women.

As your question doesn't really have anything to do with our debate, I respectfully decline to answer. It was nice talking.
