And I take note of how you worded your statement above, that I applaud the abuse of men by women, but I rail against the ALLEGED abuse of women, by men. As I said, it is you who are showing your true colors with those kinds of words. If you are unable to appreciate women's issues in a truthful, historical sense, then I'm just wasting time thinking that you are capable of grasping reality.
I'm glad that you are such a law abiding citizen nutty, but not everyone is, and some of those people have no problem paying for sex.
Of course the CEO mentioned above would be guilty of sexual harassment! But he has something the woman wants (the promotion) and he wants sex from her if she wants the promotion.
Is this illegal? Without a doubt. Is it immoral and disgusting? Of course. Should the CEO be punished? To the fullest extent of the law; in my opinion. But the two situations - while different in certain ways- are comparable in that one party uses their advantage to obtain what they want from the other party. Also, when those non-law-abiding people pay for sex; they are purchasing it from another non-law-abiding person whom is selling it.
I think this is becoming a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" discussions; WT. This is why I make no distinction other than both parties should be prosecuted; because both parties broke the law!
Of course you are entitled to your opinion. I can (and do) respect this from you; and everyone else here at DTT. We differ in our opinions; but you are more than welcome to express yours, as is everyone else.
