What do you make of it when career-driven feminists get it on with their boss? Have you done that? Is it his, hers, or the system's fault?

A feminist would never resort to that to get a job. If her boss offered her a raise or a promotion in exchange for sex, she would be wont to sue him for harassment. There's more to being a feminist than being career-driven.

An anti-feminist is more likely to stay in whatever job she's got until she gets married.

This behaviour can only be attributed to one kind of woman: A whore.

In reality this has nothing at all to do with being a feminist or an anti-feminists. Sure, I want to be snide and say a feminists that was the first thing on my mind, yet it would be dishonest; let alone venting out anger. It has everything to do with women who believe for some reason they have to use sex to get ahead. Even anti-feminists are capable of such antics; we're not all angels you know; I'll never go as far to assume we are; just like I would never assume a feminist would because she's a feminist.
When it happens Is it his, hers, or the systems fault? Since the system is all ready set, and we the people are capable of being responsible for our own actions. I would say leave the system out of it and blame the parties involved.

Just like women, the "definition" of feminist or feminist anything changes from moment to moment to whatever is most opportunistic, so, you choose whether it's feminist behavior or not. No matter which you choose, you have a 50-50 chance of being right, and the next second, you could have the same 50-50 chance of being either as well.

Well it definitely is NOT a feminist ideology to "sleep one's way to the top."

And no, I've never done that, and wouldn't. If I achieve success it will be because I legitimately earned it. Anything less, for me, would be something I could not be proud of.

And who's "fault" is it if people do what you've suggested? I suppose I believe that everyone must take responsibility for his/her own actions. In other words, there's no sense blaming someone else for something that you, yourself did.

It's not confined to any one such consideration but is purely NEED based.Some women would do it no matter what they are ie feminists or otherwise.It is how ever generally believed that feminists would find it easier to go ahead and do it,due to lesser reservations about it.

Since it's a typical sexist gripe that women "sleep their way to the top" and a woman actually doing such would merely reinforce said stereotypical gripes, it would not be feminist. Nor would it be anti-feminist exactly. Why does the man hold no blame in the situation? Was he not present while they were ********? Was he thinking at the same time about how he was also, ironically, ******** over the rest of his employees? Do you think it's some kind of given that you dumb sex-crazed men _of course_ can't be expected to be honest with your businesses and *refuse* to sleep with your female employees in exchange for favors? Refusing to sleep with a woman?! Unheard of!

Is it masculinist or anti-masculinist behavior for men like our esteemed president to ride through life on their rich famous daddies' coat strings? Another example of people gaining power "not based on merit." Care to ****** about all those old-money families while you're busy b.itching about women sleeping with their bosses?

Well - ok - I'm a little bit of a feminist, and a little bit of a masculinist (last night I bought a guy his cigarettes and slurpie - $6.50 - cause his cc was being denied - does that count? no, I did not know him - he was at 7-11 - I just felt bad for him)... anyway.. so I'm a bit of everything - like agnostic, if that could apply here. But - I do not give sexy time for promotions and stuff like that. Sexy time is sexy time - promotions are promotions.

BTW - my mom is ready for that date, and she looks mighty HOTTT! You're late - so get off the pc.

I would say that it is opportunistic behavior, rather than feminist or anti-feminist. But you can bet that both those groups would have lots to say about it...

Very anti-feminist.
I would say she is completely responsible for her own actions.

And no.
