Question of the Day

by JS

What strikes me about the Letterman scandal is the complete lack of acknowledgement of any ethical wrongdoing. I mean sure, older men having sex with young female assistants is icky, but nobody seems to be stopping to consider why this is icky.

Even feminist blogs, who really should know better, seen more obsessed with other things than this matter.

Here’s the problem. When superiors in an organization sleep with people who work for them, they are contributing to a culture that says, bluntly, sleeping with the boss is a way to get ahead.

Am I wrong in thinking this? Is the situation more complicated?
