is S then less guilty than M because he never pretended to care about L?
both S and M (pun intended) use L, yet you rank M much lower than S. Let's
translate the situation. L is a female on tenure track. Two of her older
alreadly tenured collegues have sex with her. S by telling her that unless
she puts out he will not bully their sexist but weak department chair (B)
into not being a sexist in her tenure evaluation. M by convincing her
that he really trully loves her (he does not). who is more guilty in this
situation, S or M? Is B still the most guilty of all? does this
translation distort the deep pattern of the original problem situation? If
so, how. How about if we change it to say that M really does think he
loves L but dumps her when he find out from F that she slept with S to
get his influence with B working on her behalf?
