You have no reason to think Hallie/others, don't believe that Bill.    The question was never asked of her.   

There is a question of degree and most certainly Power at play that changes the concept of assault between gender roles.   Good thing to think about.     Many men expect a woman to take a beating before calling rape/assault.   Yet if a woman does as you suggest, coerces a man to do something he doesn't want to do, no physical assault is necessary.   Double standard for some who think that way - not suggesting that you do Bill.

It comes down to abuse of power.    In most cases men win a physical battle.  But that's not true of Roger Alles, in his case it was all about power in his work environment.   A woman with the same power may well have the same failing.

We live in interesting times.
