Regardless of their profession, almost everyone deals with stress—it’s really about how you cope with it, isn’t it?
In this case, I think it made the news because he was a school principal and an educator.
The important thing is simply not to do anything that could become a news story—but apparently, he didn’t understand that.
There are probably a few men among Universe’s male members like that too, haha.
It’s not necessarily about stress; when people are in a position of superiority, isn’t it simply human nature to want to behave that way? The same thing happened at a certain entertainment agency, and there are countless stories like that everywhere—and still are today. It’s not limited to women, either. In a certain industry where, for some reason, the critics are overwhelmingly into men, salespeople used their own bodies to promote their work. Broadly speaking, even political bribery and corruption operate on the same principle.
If you can refuse, then refuse. It’s best to do so while you still can. People like that tend to entangle themselves in your life in all sorts of ways, and before you know it, you may find yourself backed into a corner. I know a woman close to me who was victimized, so I came to understand what state someone can end up in while insisting they’re fine—and I also realized how powerless I was to help. All you can do is treat them as you normally would. As for the issue of minors at that entertainment agency, I think that misses the point. Society is prone to embracing the simplistic idea of lashing out at bad people for a sense of satisfaction; people are just trying to vent their resentment by forcing someone—anyone—onto the gallows. Better laws and systems are certainly a good thing, but there have been so many collateral victims that it’s unbearable to watch.
To answer your question, in the end, it depends on the individual. People shouldn’t be judged by their attributes. You say that most people are probably fine, but you’re still labeling them, aren’t you? That’s the problem. Also, suppose there were a particular profession associated with problems. If you compared the rate of troublemakers among people in that profession generally with those in the same profession who use a dating club, the rate should be lower in the dating-club group. That’s because there’s an evaluation system. The dangerous ones would be weeded out, right? So someone with a substantial track record of positive evaluations should be relatively safer.
