A powerful man offers to help a woman's career in trade for sex. Is this okay of him if a) she likes deal & accepts, b) he only ever asks once, she declines, c) deal is indirect, giving her plausible deniability? Pick 1st answer you agree with:

But plenty of other common business practices disadvantage people who don't participate. E.g. mothers/fathers who have tighter schedules miss out on opportunities to work late and help their careers.

It is in the very nature of business transactions that one side uses an economic incentive to make the other do things that they would not be doing otherwise. That does not mean that all conceivable transactions should be either acceptable or outlawed (powerpoint at 3am?).

This offer is inherently coercive. The threat is *implicit* in the offer. Human beings cannot have perfect knowledge of others intent. The thought experiment w/ both parties being
on board and freely offering with no consequence to rejection is as much a fantasy as twilight. -
