I clicked on this USA Today news link about this study on how women who try to use sexuality to get ahead in business often receive fewer raises and promotions than women who don't.
I don't think there have been truer words written than the last paragraph: Almost all the women in the Tulane study who said they used sexual behavior said they did so infrequently. But executive coach Debra Benton, who has long asked business leaders about the pros and cons of sexuality in the workplace, said that if a similar survey were given to men, they would say that women use sexuality "all the time." Women need to be aware that when they say "It's a nice day," men will often conclude "She wants me," Benton says.
