If you find this sort of example terrifying, imagine for a moment what it'd be like to be on the other end of aggressive advances from a guy who could make or break your career and wanted you to submit to sex.
Hopefully that puts your terror as a guy in perspective.
- whitemale 9y agoIf a women who I find unattractive would ask for me to sleep with her for a contract, I would just find another contract. I get to choose who I sleep with, she gets to choose who she awards the contract to, we both have our freedoms. If she would however try to force herself on me, I would call the police, because she has just violated my freedom. Everyone deals with people in power, and many in power abuse it, corruption is not a gendered issue, making it gendered will only generate even more problems.

- grey-area 9y agoIt was the word terrifying which seemed a little out of place, I don't agree men should be or are in terror over changing social norms. If you act naturally but respect the other person and what they say and do, you really have nothing to fear. Just treat people as equals and check they are comfortable from time to time. In most of these cases we hear about it's very, very clear that someone was using their position of power to attempt to coerce others. If you don't do that, you have nothing to feel terror about.
