This blows away one stereotype...

...and reinforces another.

Men More Willing to Sleep with Their Boss?

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - More men are willing to have sex with their bosses to get a promotion or a salary increase than women, a Belgian human resources weekly said on Friday.

According to the Vacature poll -- based on 12,078 Belgians interviewed -- 12 percent of all men would be willing to sleep with their boss to try to advance their career, compared to only 1 percent of women.

What have we learned here? First off, there's a common assumption that enabled a story like this to come into existence: Women are more likely to whore themselves out to advance their careers, as opposed to using their talent and intellect to do such.

Secondly, it's ironic that this belief is perpetrated by a bunch of sluts who have no shame: Men!
