Earlier quoted context omitted.

I am pyscologist, I've consulted enough clients before reaching this conclusion. If you go asking women, if they'll sleep with you for promotion. Answer will be a big NO. Consider asking them who already faced this in real life, what did they choose? I want companies to tackle these dynamics, so we've a much safer and fair playground for everyone.

Isn't confidentiality a key part of your code of ethics? Why are you posting your clients guarded secrets on a public forum?

Confidentiality doesn't prevent broad generalities based on aggregated experience from being discussed.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” -George Orwell, Animal Farm Rules have to be applied equally, not based on a sliding scale based on how high up the organization oligarchy you are.

"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." -Anatole France, Le Lys Rouge

Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing with you. I just find it interesting how every pat saying has its opposite also in common coinage, and also Orwell greatly admired Anatole France and defended him from his detractors following France's death.
