Your statement implies Melinda Gates as sexually assaulted at work by Bill, which is wrong.
sigh It implies no such thing except under the most uncharitable of interpretations. Here, I'll spell it out: one exception with a positive outcome does not offset the millions of women who have been harassed by their boss. IOW, "hey, baby, we could be the next Billinda!", just no.
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.
This is not remotely the case.
Most office romances are just two people dating - and that's it.
It's the possibility that something might go awry that's problematic, not the situation itself.
Gates is not 'one example' - it's the norm.
Wherever you work, there are surely people dating/married to one another, it's almost normative.
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.
We can cure malaria without having millions of women sexually harassed at work.
