It's also generally not a situation where you can say someone was coerced in any way without knowing more details. They are two adults engaging in consensual activity. I seriously doubt she thought there would be negative consequences if she said no. More likely she thought she might stand to gain something if she went along with it, but that's hardly coercion.

I don't know, I have somewhat different thinking about sex in professional settings. I tend to see women as more capable of using their own judgement in those situations and less needing of protection. That's not always the case though, like with Harvey Weinstein.

Edit: comment if you disagree, downvotes won't change my opinion.



The goal is to collapse your comment and prevent other people from seeing it, not to change your opinion.


Censorship of dissenting opinions should hopefully be abhorrent to most people here on HN. It goes against the hacker ideals.


<sarcasm> Oh, come on, they are just making hn a better and safer place. </sarcasm>
