This is how you write a great angry column

If a corporate CEO has sex with an intern, using position of power for sexual conquest, wouldn't that be considered a mater of sexual harrassment?
Why would it be any different in that case?

 

Because Stephon Marbury isn't a CEO?

 

Mr Ace,

Arguably in a position more powerful than the CEO. Fewer NBA point guards than CEO candidates. Pay in the same bracket (salary + endorsements). I dunno.

YHS, etc

 

The reason it's unethical for a CEO to sleep with an intern isn't the scarcity of CEOs or how much money they make. It's because the CEO has hire-and-fire power over that intern. I suppose you could argue that Stephon Marbury could probably get a Garden intern fired, but he's not formally over her in the chain of command.

 

Mr Wingman,

His relative scarcity is a fair measure of his influence.

YHS, etc

 

Think he's got you on this logically, FOF. In our world, it would be like a sports writer hitting on the just-out-of-college newsroom librarian.

We're closing in on our 20th anniversary.

 

Mr Man,

Congratulations on the statute of limitations running out.

YHS, etc

 

Zing!
