Four out of 10 [women] said they would marry for money or sleep with their boss if it meant they would get promoted.

Alright, this headline doesn't fit here to me.

If a female boss offered you a promotion if you did the deed, would you do it?

Or if a very wealthy cougar hit you up and mentioned plans for marriage, what would you do?

This is not a women vs. men issue. This is a human morals issue; it applies regardless of gender.

Did they ask men if they would marry for money or sleep with their female bosses if it mean they would get promoted?

First: I don't condemn women's alleged "promiscuity", or "loose morals". I think those are overtly moralistic claims. Let them sleep with how many people they want to. They're completely entitled to that.

Second: I'm not trying to imply that men wouldn't marry for money or sleep with their boss if it meant they would get promoted. It's very likely that many would, even though hypergamy is mostly a female tendency and is certainly a great motivator to that behavior.

What I am saying is that marrying for money or using sex for professional advances is immoral, and that many more women are apparently open to that than feminists and most women would want to accept.

If you told 100 women that they would marry for money or sleep with their bosses if it meant they would get promoted, all of them would feel offended and accuse you of being sexist. Yet, 40 of them would do it.

Not only that, but many of those would actively pursue it, and do this in greater numbers than men, indeed, because of hypergamy.

Also, this gives credence to the conclusion that they would report their male bosses for sexual harassment, based not on the offense per se, but rather on how attracted they were to him, or depending on how good the professional deal would be.

And those are simply not privileges that men have in our society, regardless of how open they are to it.

Makes sense...it's like teachers seeking sexual favors from students in exchange for the student getting good grades. So what if it's not school? It isn't very far off, children grow up to be adults, but the things they learn in school follow them.

I'd suck dick for a promotion, but then I'd feel bad that I got the promotion.

Well I hate to say it, but Darwin plays a role in this.

If you promote the most capable then your buisness is more likley to survive and thus it's more likely you'll put food on the table.

Promote the women cause she sucked you off however and you're more likely to fail.

And thus, stupid men get what they asked for and immoral women get used.

I'd sleep with my boss too, and I'm male.
