  @ Ganymede

  His behavior WAS atrocious and demeaning. I'd never do that during a job interview, (at least not until she got off premises.) But seriously, I'm sure she must have put out some type of energy for him to have felt save offering this possible "union contract" during an interview. which leads me to believe, in todays office environment, that nobody would do that. so I question the validity of the story myself. But if it is true, just because someone makes an unseemly offer does not mean you have to accept it. The article wasn't about his offer, it was about her acceptance. were it an article about males treating women like meat, I'm sure we'd be tearing him a new asshole instead of "her".

  BTW, This probably IS the closest thing to "legal prostitution" there is. And while I do think prostitution ought to be legalized, because a woman should do with her body as she pleases, that does not imply that I, or society, need to approve of the behavior. There are many things legal, yet unseemly in nature.Both these people need time "on the couch" to learn how to have a real relationship. because it seems to me the deepness a real relationship, wife, friend, whatever, is one of the few true gifts we are given in life. But if you never enter into one, you never learn the value, or how entering into the opposite actually may DEVALUE you or life in general. I'm not saying all relationships are or need to be deep to be successful. But as Obama said, "A pig with lipstick on it is still a pig."
