Yeah, I think the difference there is exaggerated, honestly. Like what a certain man is currently being cancelled for would probably be called mostly "seduction" rather than "rape" but "seduction" was absolutely not ethically okay? Like princes could get away with it but it wasn't *good* and their dads would absolutely be paying people off to keep it quiet. If he was in a politically tricky spit with his nobles and it got out he'd been seducing virgins he'd be in big trouble (that's part of why he fell in the original!) Similarly you weren't going to jail for forcing the servant girls but you would get a whisper network and a bad reputation. And in the original there's TONS of random magic ready to call you out and curse you for being an unchaste knight.

Women had quite a bit of social power in the Dark Ages and it's not like they somehow liked it back then either.
