> Is it so easy to say that's totally different from prostitution? Indeed it is totally different. I don't understand how a reasonable person could honestly think this. I am not trying to be a jerk, it just seems disingenuous or incredibly ignorant. Are you sure you want your name attached to such a comment? Let's spell this our pedantically: The women we are discussing here were propositioned but turned the offer down. That is the exact opposite of prostitution. If anything being propositioned is a really good sign that you absolutely don't want to be in business with that person in any capacity. They very sensibly didn't tell anyone publicly, file any lawsuits, or press any charges because they didn't want to get blacklisted from the industry. It's the same reason you usually don't sue a landlord or former employer: People google your name, see the lawsuit, then drop your rental application / resume in the recycle bin. You can "win" the case only to end up losing big in the end. Even having a manufactured / fake controversy swirling around you can be damaging. In fact this is the very root of the problem: some men feel entitled to treat women they come across as prostitutes whenever they feel like it. As if being a GP entitles them to offer introductions, favors, or money for sex. (And to be extra pedantic: it is just a shitty if the GP is a woman hitting on a male founder. I can't imagine having someone dangle funding over my head to cheat on my spouse. It definitely tells you about their character though: they will continue to manipulate you to suit their fancy and toss you when they no longer have any need for you.)
