Aristotle -
I want everyone to keep the property that he has acquired for himself according to the principle: benefit to the community precedes benefit to the individual.

Consider the sexual harassment which continually occurs between a secretary and a boss . . . while objectionable to many women, [it] is not a coercive action.

The office is, after all, private property. The secretary does not have to remain if the 'coercion' is objectionable.
