Where do the subordinates desires fit into all this. Do people, in your experience, ever get horny for their bosses, and is that okay?

If it's not okay for my boss to gently caress me, is it okay for me to gently caress my boss?

The fact it was a repeated trend is important. While still morally questionable, I can kinda understand this happening once, but Whedon apparently did it repeatedly.

i would definitely say bill clinton was a sexual predator in the past but he appears to have stopped that behavior

you don't need to be a criminal or a rapist to be a predator. anyone who specifically looks for someone to fill their sexual urges while using money, power, lies, or any other technically legal things you can do to convince someone to gently caress you but are skeezy is a sexual predator

the fact that whedon lied to his wife for years and years is to me the biggest sign of his predatory behavior. even if (and this is conjecture) he was opportunistically predatory and not deliberately setting himself up to find sex partners (he didn't need to, he was practically swimming in them) he didn't do anything to stop himself from haplessly falling into one vagina after another and then lying to his wife about it. he'd be much less of a predator if he had divorced his wife and dove headlong into and embraced the slutty lifestyle, but that wouldn't have perpetuated the mystique of the strong male hollywood feminist which enabled him to find so many sexual partners

given how incredibly non-existant America's social net is then there will be a major problem with people who use their employees, who can be fired at any time for any reason, for sex. Is this a controversial idea? We aren't talking a relationship between emotionally invested people, we're talking the source of your food and shelter deciding he's going to change the dynamic of your work relationship, with no guarantee that he's magnanimous about being rejected. It's pretty clear, to me, that this would be a hostile work environment.

Wasn't his relationship with Lewinsky consensual? I could be wrong, but I don't recall ever hearing any stories from Lewinsky herself arguing otherwise.

The argument is that, since he was her boss and the POTUS, he had undue power and influence over her, thus compromising how much consent/agency she actually had in that kind of situation

You can't have an equitable relationship where one person is running the country and the other is in an illicit relationship with them.

Which on a smaller scale is also why you should not combine work and relationships, because an employer has a duty to their employees which directly conflicts with their relationship duties if one of their employees is in a relationship with them. It is bad for everybody in the workplace.

Nail + head.

Same reason I'm tired of being told to work my available days, every time I have them, because someone else couldn't show up when I've been able to make it for 6+ consecutive months on average without absence.

"We're just offering, I'm just calling down the list."

Yes. Every weekend. And you guilt trip me occasionally. Usually?

Sure, I could choose not to suck your dick.

I bet you don't fire me if I do, though. Or rather, I bet when hours get cut they aren't mine.

yes, but that just means he's not a rapist. if a wealthy man only hires attractive young women and respectfully, politely sleeps with only the fully aware and consenting women this still makes him a predator. he's using his power to hunt for sexual partners and leveraging the power imbalance to solicit sex from them. that he doesn't just hire prostitutes or escorts in an explicit transaction of sex-for-money makes this predatory

Good stuff, his 'Angry Jack' videos were great in examining why I was a GG-enabling pawn. His point on the alt-right using bad arguments as bait to get liberals to respond the way they want reminds of the tip that if you want an answer for something that it is better to purposefully post the wrong thing instead of asking a question. Using Cunningham's law as a debate tactic.
