Re: Neil DeGrasse Tyson Is Under Investigation for Sexual Misconduct
#2Sexual abuse is always about power: physical, emotional, verbal threats, boss-employee relations, career gatekeepers. Not about romantic advances from undesirable partners.
This type of story often focuses on explicit acts and behaviors because they are more raunchy - to the detriment of the fundamental power relations. It's irrelevant if Tyson had a failed date - he has a right to pursue romantic partners. Why did she resigned? What was Tyson's position there? What was the implicit or explicit pressure used by Tyson to coerce her into his apartment?
