Coercion or a transaction? If your doing x to get y or at the very least the promise of y is that not OK?

There's a fine line with this stuff and it's rarely as clear cut as is often portrayed.

Weinstien was basically ambushing women and making it very clear that either they slept with him, or they would get a reputation as being hard to work with and would definitely never get a job on any film his company had anything to do with.

That's not really a fine line, that's basically "you either sleep with me now, or I ruin your career and make it so you never get a job in the business again", and that was the "nicest" way he did it (the women he targeted were very deliberately put in a position where they were surprised and given no time to get over the shock).

That's clearly coercion.
