That would depend on the context of the power. The culture and whether or not it trains women to feel the privledge to abuse power in various ways. The culture that would teach people to be silent or attack people who come forward, and the systems in place to punish transgressions.
Simply crying that women would do the same if they were in the position of men entirely misses the point of the argument. Nobody is demanding that women be given power over men. We are arguing that we need to change our culture and legal systems so that men do not feel privileged to abuse their power and women can come forward without being attacked and smeared.
In other words. How about we stop protecting rapists and attacking victims?

My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.
