Well thats what a Russian judge has ruled.

A Russian advertising executive who sued her boss for sexual harassment lost her case after a judge ruled that employers were obliged to make passes at female staff to ensure the survival of the human race.
The unnamed executive, a 22-year-old from St Petersburg, had been hoping to become only the third woman in Russia's history to bring a successful sexual harassment action against a male employer.
She alleged she had been locked out of her office after she refused to have intimate relations with her 47-year-old boss.
"He always demanded that female workers signalled to him with their eyes that they desperately wanted to be laid on the boardroom table as soon as he gave the word," she earlier told the court. "I didn't realise at first that he wasn't speaking metaphorically."
The judge said he threw out the case not through lack of evidence but because the employer had acted gallantly rather than criminally.
"If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children," the judge ruled.
Since Soviet times, sexual harassment in Russia has become an accepted part of life in the office, work place and university lecture room.
According to a recent survey, 100 per cent of female professionals said they had been subjected to sexual harassment by their bosses, 32 per cent said they had had intercourse with them at least once and another seven per cent claimed to have been raped.
Eighty per cent of those who participated in the survey said they did not believe it possible to win promotion without engaging in sexual relations with their male superiors.
Women also report that it is common to be browbeaten into sex during job interviews, while female students regularly complain that university professors trade high marks for sexual favours.
Only two women have won sexual harassment cases since the collapse of the Soviet Union, one in 1993 and the other in 1997.
Human rights activists say that Russian women remain second-class citizens and are subjected to some of the highest levels of domestic abuse in the world.

NEXT STOP RUSSIA.................... :)
may be the judge has something to say about his own existence
Its bad enuough that sexual harrassment happens...the law condoning it is adding insult to injury!!
agree with nadt, the judge must be a pervert himself
i think this thing worked both ways. men and woman got harrashed everyday.
Everybody is right everybody is wrong, it depend where you stand
Have just read a book about sexual harrassment in academic (US specific) where it's alive and well, unfortunately.
That judge should be fired.
I think this goes both ways... the numbers could be this way cos the women there are more open to being harassed than other women and don't mind being treated that way for some personal benefit in return...
yes ur rt
what on earth? Why would any Russian husband allow his wife to continue working after reading that article.
If the wife runs happily to the husband and shouts,"Darling I got a promotion today"
The guy would probably slap her and then say,"That just proves that there is an 80% probability that you slept with your boss"
7% had been raped... what is this... this is just absolutely crazy...
Its shocking, not only because its accepted, but a judge can dismiss such a case..Well hes a man so i guess he agreed with him..This judge probably does it himself, you never know..
so is that why Russian woman are most exploited in prostitution rings?
its such a shame they got such evil figures for disgusting attitude towards sexual harrasment!!
the horrific thing in article is
"According to a recent survey, 100 per cent of female professionals said they had been subjected to sexual harassment by their bosses, 32 per cent said they had had intercourse with them at least once and another seven per cent claimed to have been raped.
Eighty per cent of those who participated in the survey said they did not believe it possible to win promotion without engaging in sexual relations with their male superiors"
