To the extent that a boss demanding sex in exchange for career advancement, I agree that makes them sex offenders. But those women still have a choice. They making the wrong choice doesn’t mean they aren’t the victim, but they still should be accountable for their choice.
Agree. Rape and sexual assault nare one thing, and always deplorable. But as presented above, this isn’t that. It’s consensual sex with the hope of advancement.
If the power dynamic is abused by the boss for the purposes of attaining that sex, that’s sexual assault.
Because of the power imbalance you can never divorce the two, even if she chased him.
That’s not a moral judgement, just a reality that “perspective “ matters here and if she chased him and then decides 3 years later that he unduly promoted her to try and convince her to have sex with him, BOOM he’s screwed, because she’s got a valid point.
I don’t know the answer, but he’s definitely doing things he shouldn’t.
Right but you’re missing the whole “you can’t separate sexual abuse from the power imbalance”
It’s like when a female guard has sex with a male inmate.
I believe that most of the time that happens, the inmate went after the guard. I also believe that if you asked the inmate that they consented to it 100%.
But because the power dynamic at play is so severe, you just have to hardline it and say that as the CEO it’s illegal for you to dip in the company ink.
Probably not worth jail time, maybe just lose your job and be forbidden from directorships/ceo for 10 years?

The power dynamic is ever present. Can a person detained by a law enforcement officer consent to sex with that officer?
Of course not, that’s why I said exploiting the power dynamic is sexual assault
Here’s the problem….

And let’s be real, he’s likely a VERY shitty dad.
I fully acknowledged the power imbalance

No I’m not missing it, I’m highlighting the above comment I replied to, which discusses that.
Ahhh then I misunderstood.
Have a nice day!
