I am of the opinion that quid-pro-quo sexual favors for business advancement is morally and ethically wrong, and should be illegal, because it's basically glorified prostitution.
Both parties are guilty.
Then we cannot have women and men in the same workplace. As long as the two genders exist, some form of that will always exist. Even if it is not explicit, the rule will be broken at some point and even without a victim the "crime" has happened.
What you are describing is nepotism is wrong, and networking is ethically wrong and should be illegal. And if you want to start with that be my guest, but you are basically upending the entire way jobs work to do so.
You're twisting my words into something they're not.
I am specifically against the trade of sexual favors for financial gain.
I do not care about nepotism so long as the people involved are competent.
So sex for gain is bad, but doing everything but sex for that same gain is completely okay?
There is no twisting of your words, sex for favors is the second most basic form of nepotism/networking. You are complaining about a single form being bad because reasons, and happy to allow every other abuse go because it isn't that specific form you just personally dislike.
You also jumped over the fact that as long as men and women exist in the same workplaces, there will be sexual favors traded. The same was as long as friendship and family exist, nepotism in general will.
You're equating things that cannot be equated.
My argument against prostitution comes from a completely different line of reasoning unrelated to the workplace.
Prostitution damages the soul of both parties involved. It eats away at the moral and ethical foundations and principles that individuals hold and opens the door for satan's children to infest a new host.
I have no problem with nepotism, nor do I work networking. I think it is a just and righteous thing to provide work and opportunity to kin and tribe. The issues come when this idea is abused and someone that is obviously not competent is put into a position they aren't ready for, or when the system itself is coopted to only allow certain groups to use tribal preferences.
I ignored it because it's already answered.
That is prostitution, prostitution is wrong, and all parties involved should face punitive consequences.
In general I don't think women should be in a normal workplace until after they've started and raised a family, so to me that's not even an issue.
