Sleeping your way to the top isn't what's under fire. It's the people in positions of power expecting sex.

- enriquto 6y agoThese two things may be very difficult do distinguish in practice. In many cases the only difference will be in how you describe the situation.
- kgwxd 6y agoSpecific instances aren't really part of the point I'm trying to make. It's clear that there exists a non-zero number of people in positions of power expecting sex in exchange for opportunity and a lot of people just accept "that's how it is". There is a surprisingly large number of comments here trying to justify this by redirecting focus towards the people who ultimately decided to give sex in exchange for opportunity. That's a completely separate debate that isn't even very controversial. It's those comments, and their upvotes, that concern me. Especially when they're high karma accounts on a site targeted at entrepreneurs that might be in a position to coerce someone towards choosing to give sex in exchange for opportunity.
