| I find this topic pretty thought-provoking. On the one hand, I think there's a lack of understanding from people like the author that there are people who want sex. I wouldn't call it a need (although if 'respect' and 'goal-realization' are needs, then sex is without a doubt: it's literally on a lower and more basic level on Maslow's pyramid). And there's certainly a point in saying that an investor (investing their own money, not the fund they're managing) is within their right to refuse to fund a business if they don't like the founder's personality or whatever other subjective characteristic. On the other hand, I see the point the author is making that it sucks to have so many people focused on this one thing irrespective of anything to do with the business. It seems to me that the conflict is one of opposing values/needs. If (some) men want to flirt and have sex with every woman and this conflicts with the latter's wants for respect and self-actualization, what's the "right" solution? On the one hand, we could just ask the men to sacrifice their want. On the other hand, we could also ask the women to not take CEO roles. When one thinks about the negative aspects of each possibility, the choice is not as easy as portrayed by any given side, I think. |
