No. You just lead the poor, socially maldjusted geek guys to BELIEVE you MIGHT. Then your power over them is complete. Even if you never so much as look at them again.

Yep. The putting out is only necessary if you want to advance to middle-management.
The corollary to this rule is that if the woman is a complete bitch and appears prone to suing for sexual harassment or such accusations, she'll advance because people want to get rid of her, but can't find a legitimate reason to fire her without getting accused of sexual discrimination.
I should note, it's not that women are like this as a whole. It's that a field where bullshitting yourself through work is relatively easy, and pinning blame for negligence and incompetence can be very time consuming, it's usually trivial for a moderately intelligent person to "get by". Combine this with the fact that it's a very male-dominated field, and you've got a field which is very attractive to the type of woman who sees this as a benefit and a means of security (through threat of litigation).
