Dating need not include sex. Sex is not abuse. And that there is possibility of abuse does not mean that the abuse will happen. Precautions need be taken, but an outright ban is uncivil, because it carries prejudice towards individuals, i.e., the superiors are filthy exploiters who'll do anything for sex and the underlings immoral people who'll trade their bodies and emotions for professional returns.
WRT statutory rape, I didn't know, sorry. WRT me being foreign, I din't know that HN was a US-centric forum.

- greglindahl 10y agoI did a little googling, and it appears that countries like China, India, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, France, and Germany all have the concept of statutory rape, even if you aren't familiar with that particular wording in English.
