    whatever works, I say.
    If it gets me out of trouble, or benefits me, hell yeah.

    I think that being a man or woman simply has its advantages and disadvantages. If your a man, you are expected to be strong and the like while if you are a woman you are expected to be timid and submissive. I think that we should challenge these stereotypes and show others that we are all different individuals.

    Life isn't fair, and I say do what you feel you must to survive and get ahead... because that's what everyone else is doing.

    I think using sexuality in the workplace to get ahead is entirely inappropriate and sets women back a good 60 years to the days when we used sexuality to get husbands who could get ahead in the workplace for us. In a professional setting we want the men we work with to see us as brains and equals, not as sexual objects.

    However, I am not adverse to batting my eyelashes and smiling sweetly at a guy to get him to do something for me on occasion...its just a benefit of being a girl.

    I do hate when girls that cry crocodile tears to get their way though.

    but I figure in the end, who makes more money? I really don't mind using my sex, and its certainly not setting me back because I still have the right to vote, etc.

    i agree with this. Its entirely possible to keep the upperhand on a man without manipulating him. Men use alpha male energy to show dominance; women can use that same energy on men and come off as the strongest person in the room without ever showing cleavage.

    Females have tits and pussy.. something males dont have, so why not use it? It's the whole point we're female. I use mine to a point, Im usually laid-back but Im a natural flirt without even knowing. So I do let guys buy me drinks or whatever else they want to get me, but I always let them know my intends before-hand. I use my looks within my work field, and thats the only reason sex workers are even alive and making money now due to something males cannot do/provide, but females can.

    You are a nasty person, with no honor or respect for your self or anyone else.

    To sum things up, as they appear to me. I mean, maybe there's a SENSITIVE manipulative side that I'm not seeing....
