Yes, women can do wrong. If I were in the position in which to hire a woan for a secretarial job I would not hire someone who lays on the "seductress" role. That is asking for trouble. Even the cost of successfully defending against a harassment lawsuit is costly. This is not to defend against feminism in the work place or to support the oppression of women. Seductresses are generally not feminists; they indeed fit roles normal in male chauvinism -- except that if they can make money by turning against an organization for which they work, they do so.

Quite possibly she gets some settlement that falls well short of solving all her problems.
Many business have a strict rule against fraternization. If you work for PQR Corporation, then don't date from PQR Corporation. STU or LMN, maybe.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
