Indeed. Fiamengo exposes the double standard that insulates women from just about any accountability and the public silence that further reinforces the deal. Using sex as a means to advance is easily seen but totally forbidden to call out except to smirk and say "naughty naughty" Thank you for calling it out. It's an interesting question how we might be able to start a pubic conversation on this. I guess you just started it!

Surely one reason this form of abuse never sees daylight is because men will almost never complain about receiving sexual favors from an attractive woman. Interesting to think about what would stop this from becoming a standard fast-tracking practice for attractive career women. The only people complaining would be those left behind.
