I do agree though that when the woman enters into the situation with full awareness and understanding, that perhaps the repercussions towards the male associate needn't be overly excessive.

This guy not being CEO of WB is ultimately best for everyone, though, so hey, whatever it takes.
I've only heard of one case of a teacher and student relationship, but it was already in university, so both parties were adults. That being said, the professor was old enough to be her father already. But could have just been a rumour, who knows. Sometimes people suspect a good looking girl only has good grades on a certain class because the professor is an old pervert. I did notice a couple of my older male professors were more likely to screw over male students in their grades than the female ones. One of them even made a lot of embarrassingly bad dad jokes whenever he talked with decent looking female students.

So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if some male professors would be willing to do that. Or giving a female student's essay a slightly higher grade just because they liked their cleavage or something. It would be hard for someone to prove the grade was unfair, especially in a humanities related class or a literature sort of class where there's not always a right or wrong answer. And it's not like the student would ever complain about getting a good grade, anyway, let alone question it.
