Seems a little victim blamey, no?

Maybe, “don’t sleep with your employees, EVER.”

Last I checked, both people make that choice. Both are necessary, and neither is sufficient.

Sure, but one of those individuals has far, far more power in the relationship. And that makes the question of consent a little iffy.

No. Both people must give consent. Full stop. Telling people they are actually somewhat powerless in their sexual relationships is bad advice and unhealthy.

No, your point is what’s unhealthy. Many people are pressured into sex with their boss out of fear that they will be fired, not promoted, etc. Simply because they say “yes” to sex, that doesn’t make the coercion of that relationship go away. Same with a professor and student.
