    I genuinely think that there’s a point in every political career (probably at about the mid-to large city level) where you go to a networking event and they take you into a back room with a kid and tell you to rape them on camera or your career ends there. I don’t think it’s possible to reach any position of real power without letting the existing powers have some kind of blackmail material on you.

      Pretty much. Showbiz is close, except you’re the one selling your body to some gross old white dude with jowls, and it’s no secret for instance there was a “blonde boom” back in the Weinstein days because that’s what he liked to fuck.
