We are talking about men whose jobs are on the line for acting like, well, men. You can talk all you want about how "we're used to be the sexual aggressors" and "women ask for it because of how they dress" (which I find VERY offensive, BTW), but essentially, no man is gonig to be deemed unsuitable for a promotion just because he comes on to women.
I have not kept up with the story, but if they are priest wouldn't their job be on the line for making sexual advances on anyone.

Not in the CofE, love.

Not read Jane Austen? Her heroines were forever marrying vicars.
