[sgraieni] Power and sex

Assume people abusing their power for sex is a fundamentally unsolvable problem.  Then, when choosing someone to have power, what should be done to minimize harm?  This is a politically incorrect question.

Who will they go after?  (But note well that any measure to prevent them going after those people will only shift the victims to someone else.)  At what rate?  Make these predictions public.  Perhaps engineer society so their predicted victims get psychologically prepared to be raped (highly politically incorrect).  I suspect such a thing is already occurring in certain fields, though not religious institutions or schools or other institutions where children are the victims.

(Cynically, vote into power strictly the people you want to have sex with.  Then, it's more likely not to be abuse but consensual.)

As a hunch, this might explain why women are less employed in certain industries (e.g., engineering) though it requires filling in a few gaps in reasoning.  It does provide a simple predictive model about what proposed measures to solve the problem will succeed: look at the power relationships during the career path.  It also predicts there will be a statistically marked difference in attitude toward sex between women in and out of engineering (that "psychologically prepared" thing).  Perhaps measure sexual price to test the hypothesis.
