It's like this. No one, male or female's job (unless they actually signed up to be a prostitute) should ever have their job hinge on giving out sexual favors. No boss should ever imply that it does. Full stop.
Some people actually want to sleep with their bosses. They shouldn't get any sympathy if they do and it goes sour unless the boss fires or demotes them because it soured.
But that doesn't mean that every women who complains was actually forced to have sex. Even women,, yes women and kids, lie sometimes. Nor does it mean that every man or woman who was ever asked out by their boss is a victim. So a single unsupported accusation shouldn't end anyone's career. Perhaps some investigation first?
And there's the time frame problem. Sleep with me or else is/was always wrong. But innuendo and leering in 1980 and earlier might be given a pass for ignorance.
But any moderation appears to be not allowed. It's getting as impossible to compromise as gun control and abortion rights.
Monica wanted to have sex with the Pres. Her choice, her problem.
I remember her giving an interview back in the day and going on about how they had an immediate connection and how she was so attracted to him. Such a joke that she's trying to pull this shit now.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
