I want to thank Connie Schultz for her article. I am a therapist who works with women on a daily basis who have been exploited by males due to a power differential such as this one. Whether we are discussing bosses and employees or professors and students, we need to not underestimate the abusive nature of these relationships.Furthermore, we need to use these situations as an opportunity to educate young females to be more aware of situations which may place them at risk for this exploitation and assist them in developing enough self esteem and assertiveness to steer clear of this .
