A work environment has nothing to do with sex. Period. Employers who seek out employees for sex are abusing their authority. End of story. Randall’s got a serious problem.

I sometimes read articles in which Dov's quoted talking about about how he's really proud of the sweatshop free thing, then I read others that talks about it as a marketing gimmick... Not sure about that, though I am glad that, regardless, the stuff's at least sweatshop free. Sometimes I wonder if I should moderate and kill pointless comments like Randall. As if women don't like sex just cuz they're against sexual coersion -- Thanks aleta for your thoughts about the sweatshop as a marketing gimmick.

While no one except Dov and the women who filed the sexual harassment lawsuits really know what happened, the sheer number of incidents, along with the dynamic you described very well of boss & worker interfering with his employees' ability to make free choices about their sex lives makes me suspect that Dov is not a man I want to support as a feminist. What really convinced me to boycott AA thought is Dov's attitude toward sweatshop-free products as just another marketing gimmick, not something he really cares about for the benefit of the workers. It seems like it's all just a big power trip for him, not someone who cares about others' abilities to make free choices, whether they be sexual or economic.
