There’s No Such Thing as Equality in Sexual Relationships
By Joe Jarvis - December 18, 2018

“A great man once said, everything is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power.”

Fittingly, Kevin Spacey’s character Frank Underwood repeats this quote–attributed to different historical figures–in the show House of Cards.

Now Spacey is one of the exiled Hollywood #MeToo offenders.

And rightfully so. If the accounts of his behavior are accurate, Kevin Spacey is a pretty big creep. He seems to have made a number of clearly unwanted sexual advances on young men and even young teens.

I think everyone agrees that there is a line when the power dynamic in sexual relationships becomes so far out of whack that it is hard to tell if the whole thing is truly consensual, or rather exploitative.

But isn’t where to draw that line always the problem?
