My argument is that if you are a jerk to a women you are trying to sleep with, you shouldn't expect that to stay private, especially if you're famous.

My observation is that if you expect your exes and hook ups to keep all of your foibles secret, you're going to be disappointed. Thankfully, they aren't of much interest to many people so you won't see them in the paper.

But fundamentally I'm saying Ansari is not a victim here.

If you're saying that Aziz Ansari should have absolutely no expectation of privacy in any of his relationships without marriage or an NDA (and maybe you're not saying that, but I have nothing to go on), I'd say that's a pretty unfair position.
Let's say he sincerely thought she wouldn't tell anyone about it. So what? He obviously has no ability to stop her from telling anyone.

But that doesn't mean that they shouldn't expect some level of privacy with people they are intimate with.
As I said, we all obviously expect people to be decent, but we don't have recourse if they're not (and truthful).
