In my view, the other person’s age is fair commentary here. “Powerful” is rather vague and indefinite—the other person’s age provides support for the conclusion that the other person was indeed in a position of power/influence such that there was a serious power imbalance here. And that imbalance is what makes what the man said particularly inappropriate in what was supposed to be a professional-related context.
