You're digging yourself a hole by once again presuming that people who are involved in office romances are mostly likely to be in situations of sexual coercion.

I believe you've lost the thread of the conversation if you feel it involves just "office romances". We can part ways here.

The same applies to situations wherein one person might have rank over the other.

It's common, and it does not imply some kind of harassment or coercion.

That Andy Rubin may apparently be bad guy does not invalidate people's right to have such relationships, nor does it make them inherently immoral.
