In the case of Louis C.K., as was widely covered, the women involved were mostly aspiring comics like himself who looked up to him and were probably reluctant to jeopardize their careers by speaking up or declining his "request". After all, he was and continues to be a powerful white man (probably with a team of very good lawyers behind him) meaning he was not just a random stranger on the street asking if he could masturbate in front of them. Most probably if that was the case all of them would have acted like you describe above.
I see where you're coming from Marijan, but would they still be mad if it had furthered their careers? They consented, didn't get what they thought they would out of the deal, so they regretted it. Tough shit. You go to a restaurant, order food, eat it, then decide that you didn't want it after all, that's not the restaurant's fault. It was a skeezy move on Louis' part, but I don't feel bad for these grown adult women.
