If everything his ex wife says is true (which granted, could be bullshit) it doesn't look good for joss. He spent a large portion of his career waving the feminist flag, only to lie to his wife and use a position of power for sex from young women. This sadly is adding to the stereotype of male feminist just being creeps and using feminism to get laid.

It also makes Joss a hypocrite.

Let's not confuse politics with cheating on your spouse. Having sex with young attractive women does not make you not a feminist. A man's power is an asset that makes him attractive, same way his intelligence, job, money, talent and physical attributes can make him desirable.

Does cheating on your wife and using your power to sleep with young women make you a douche? Absolutely. It makes you an asshole is what it does. But that doesn't mean that you are suddenly a bigot or disrespectful of women in general. Unless he specifically harassed these women or blackmailed them then it shouldn't really impact whatever feminist ideals he has.

You're right it shouldn't, but it probably will in his little social circle. Joss is known for catering to a specific batshit insane feminist click. One that even threw him under the bus fo r his "Problematic" writing of Black Widow in Age of Ultron. He even deleted his own Twitter account when things got heated.

For the record I don't really care what Joss does in his private life, nor do I think he isn't a feminist because of the accusations against him. I just find it entertaining that his little click turning on him on something that hasn't been proven yet.
