In the modern era, the concept of "sleeping one's way to the top" has evolved from a tale of queens and kings into a more... corporate and highly litigious affair. It's less about securing a throne and more about getting a corner office and a better parking spot. The things women have had to endure since the beginning of time and how we have evolved!

My Life in the Matrix (Minus Keanu)
Ah, biculturalism. What did it look like? For me, it was less a melting pot and more like living in parallel universes, much like the movie
