A week after CBS host Charlie Rose was outed as an alleged serial
sex harasser, one of the network's former producers says she was told by a boss that she would have to sleep with coworkers to get anywhere in the company.
After all, targeted harassment is usually a means of asserting control and defending status on the part of the
harasser, to leave victims «afraid, despairing, utterly alone, and complicit,» as Catharine A. MacKinnon wrote in her 1979 book «Sexual Harassment of Working Women: A Case of
Sex Discrimination.»
