So he seems not to have taken their complaints seriously. Tut, manners. This is regrettable but understandable. He was at the center of a worldwide media storm so he had a lot else to think about. In his view he had not been violent or overly dominating.
He had argued, been pushy and persuasive, but in the end each time the woman insisted, he'd done as she wished. When she didn't insist he did as he preferred.
Therein lies the lesson.
There is no rape here and no assault.
There may be a combination of a pushy man reluctant to wear a condom, who did it only when the woman pushed him to;Â on the other hand women who were not strong enough and insistent enough to make it clear to him what they wanted, every time. Being aggrieved that they were somewhat like groupies with a star status male, and he was far more interested in his work than in them, could not have helped.
Negotiating, "sorting it out" can be a bit rough and requires a lot of insisting unless we deal with weak people (who then get back at us indirectly). Deal with it.
