It is unethical to fuck your subordinates.

Why?

Well, it is far greater offense - with kids, but he's still in the white house, 2nd time!

I agree, but the risk of company secret leakage is high in this story. And for a such pivotal and big company I understand the board decision.

>we got somehow trained

Not that long ago, it was accepted that sex - f*cking - was at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs - basic physiological needs.

This is, of course, only true for men.

But it is incredibly inconvenient for women, and for feminists in particular.

So what did we do? Well, we just got rid of it of course.

And now here we are.

What on earth are you talking about?

The bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs are things you need to stay alive. Without these things you die:

- Food

- Water

- Shelter

- Sleep and rest

- Air and comfortable temperature

As much as men (and not exclusively men) like sex, they don't literally die without it.

I'm talking about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, as published in his landmark paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" that appeared in Psychological Review.

You would do well to read it, bearing this whole saga in mind.

"Not that long ago"

"appeared in Psychological Review in 1943."

I consider 1943 a long time ago.

The acceptance did not end (or begin) with the first publication?

But nothing turns on this. Feel free to replace "Not that long ago" with "Previously".

I guess the point is there's no value in repeating some long-refuted idea, especially when it's kind of sexist and outdated now.

There are a whole host of ideas we thought "previously". And then we learnt more and improved as a society, and now we don't think them anymore.

The fact we thought it previously and don't now is kind of evidence that we've moved on from that idea.
