Notice: none this actually has much to do with Men and Women. You have to abstract to a point where you say something like: "Men frequently do this specific thing and usually target women." But the actual problem with what is going on is entirely economic.
Young good looking people are approached for sex often. The implied exchange is career development for sex. Keep in mind -- lots of gay (or sometimes straight) men are approached for sex in exchange career potential...weird how all the sudden the exact same issue is completely different in the eyes of the feminist.
It's about class. And that class is economic class not a male/female dichotomy.
Now all that being said. It's BS that C.K is getting all the flak for something men have done for thousands of years -- like he's doing something uniquely bad that everyone agreed was wrong for a long time. But he's being a good sport about it.

He never used career opportunity to leverage sex acts.
He simply used his appeal as a successful comedian to make himself more attractive to the opposite sex.
The reason there is outrage is because america is a prude nation and they do not approve of his kink.
They misinterpret this fear of sex, as him using his power to force women or coerce them into doing something they do not want to do.
But he always asked.
He always understood when they said no.
He gave them no pressure.
He literally behaved exactly the way anyone should ever hope anyone in a position of power should behave. The fembotts have been yelling about consent for years, now they get it, and they
STILL blame the white male.
The victims are to blame here. (IMPORTANT NOTE: THEY WERE NOT VICTIMS)
You simply cannot blame LCK for using his attractive qualities, his success, to cloud the fact that he is a fat bald guy, to look attractive to the opposite sex.
What we are saying when we say LCK is in the wrong is:
1. deviant sexual behavior is unacceptable.
2. that handsome men can hit on women, but ugly men cannot even use their success in their field of work to look attractive towards women.
The simple fact is, he used nothing but his qualities as a human, to behave as one. He did not drug them, they were not minors, they simply were also comedians. Comedy is a field where nepotism does not exist by the way.
You cannot ask for more appropriate behavior. LCK was not their boss, LCK was not an icon, LCK was just a man they admired because as a comedian, he was a good one.
But fuck the guy who is attractive because of his mind right? If he had a sexy body, then it'd be ok for him to use his blessings to get women to have sex with him.
