I am not surprised at all by this, and, that does not mean that I am dismissive of it.
There is another potential villain in all this and that is - the individuals who (voluntarily) use sex to get ahead. They encourage sexual predators and create the sense of entitlement. As an analogy, I've heard many dancers complain on this board that extras dancers cause a menace for non-extras dancers in the club. First of all, the non-extras dancers feel pressure to do things they are not comfortable with in order to compete, and second, the customers will start expecting all dancers to perform extras, and be very disappointed with clean ones.
Ian McKellen, star of “Lord of the Rings” and “X-Men,” said that when he started his career in the early 1960s, some women applied for theater jobs with photographs marked with a special message to the directors, "DRR", which meant, directors’ rights respected, which meant that sex was part of the deal. If you are a clean attractive actress, how can you compete with an attractive actress that gives head? Should these women (or men) that offer up sex to get the job be prosecuted on prostitution charges? Or, is a woman (or man) free to do whatever she wants with her body, including offering it up in this manner, even though it gives her an unfair advantage and causes collateral damage to other women?
