> I engaged in sexual misconduct with multiple women

The term misconduct is used usually in the work environment when one party is in a position of power, like a boss of another. This is not the case here.

> This behavior may imply life long psychological consequence for them.

Or may not. Or maybe refusal to engage with women could imply life long psychological consequence for them: women as well as men feel bad when they are rejected.

Don't decide for women what's best for them. They are grown up adults and engage in these relationships voluntarily.

> Yes they are the victims

Victims are those who were assaulted against their will. My understanding that there was no violations like that in this story.

I'm not deciding what is best for anyone. I'm saying the author doesn't get to choose.

Says the author.

I encountered a situation similar to this a few years back. Large group of friends 20-30. Lots of partying. 5 different women report experiences with the same guy. Waking up with him in their beds. Sometimes more overt behaviors.

His recollection is quite different. He remembers it as a much more innocent affair. A mistake. Something embarrassing.

I don't believe him.
