Assuming Whedon wrote that quote, it seems that he saw sex with his co-workers as a perk of his position and status.

Assuming Whedon wrote that quote (which we cannot verify), it seems he discovered that his fame, talent, and power caused a lot of women to express sexual interest in him. And he was not immune to temptation. That is what that quote tells us. Not that he coerced women, or harassed women, or even that he presumed their interest in him. It merely says that when women did express their sexual and emotional interest in him, he was tempted by what they were offering.

Not that he coerced women, or harassed women,...

Stretching.

See, from where I'm standing, you appear to be stretching.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

No one has argued that Whedon coerced anyone.

[(Anonymous)]

Lots of people are implying his behavior was "predatory" or "boderline predatory." And yeah, lots of people are implying he coerced people. Hell, that's what casting couch bullshit is - coercive.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

wrong.

And I'm not certain I'm willing to continue a conversation with someone intent on justifying unethical sexual relationships on the grounds that they were probably consensual.

THIS. There is a high whiff of "not my fault, those horny little sluts MADE me do it" around both Joss' backpedaling and AYRT's attempt to justify it. Yuk.
