Re:Silicon Valley Women, in Cultural Shift, Frankly Describe... by chrischen on Friday June 30, 2017 @07:49PM (#14674313)
They definitely do this WAY more in the music and entertainment industries. The women are probably just less empowered in that industry. The stories of men in power sleeping with young upstarts in the music industry is abundant. If I remember correctly, one of Lana Del Rey's songs (or maybe it was an interview), talked about kissing record label producer or executive or something.. and in her case she didn't have a problem with it specifically.

Here's a testimony on John F. Kennedy's sexism and drug use:

"The dark side of the man she calls "the Great Compartmentaliser", and who would identify himself on the telephone as "Michael Carter", was never far away. One day in the swimming pool, he decided that Dave Powers was looking "tense", and coerced Alford into giving the first friend a blow job. "I don't think the president thought I'd do it, but I'm ashamed to say that I did. The president silently watched." With sex, came drugs. Alford claims she was "the guinea pig" for the president's fascination with amyl nitrate – poppers."

Martin Luther King Jr was also a known womanizer.
