I think what horrifies me the most in these stories is that, once someone is in a situation where he/she is coerced in a position to have sex, there is basically nothing stopping an escalation in abuse.
If her boss found her attractive enough to want a blowjob, why won't he progressively try to get as much as he can get away with ?
She was not in position to refuse the first step, she won't be in a better position to refuse further abuse.
At the first threat, I have the feeling she already has to choose between her career and getting abused for years.
- peteretep 12y agoSlightly more insidiously: she may have given enthusiastic consent to the first step, consent may have dwindled on subsequent steps, and she's still in just as shitty a position regarding refusing further steps, except now she has the problem of being taken seriously by people who think she lost the right to withdraw her consent along the way.
