We all know that men, through Patriarchy, tell each other that they deserve everything, which makes men much more selfish and demanding than women in our society (Patriarchy is bad for men, too, remember). Today I want to go over some examples of male entitlement that you may not be aware of, but which feed the Patriarchy like a fat, complacent pig.
Male Sexual Urges
We all know that advertisements with attractive women are symptoms of the fact that men feel entitled to women's bodies, but most of my fellow feminists don't realize that it goes even deeper than that. Men's sexual urges are, themselves, an innate sense of entitlement: the entitlement to have sexual release, and that is sick. You don't need sexual release to survive, but men still selfishly seek it, which, if they can get it, validates their entitlement mentality. To combat this, women should not have sex with any man who is the least bit interested in it because this will only validate his sense of entitlement, not only to your body, but also to sexual satisfaction. As Ti-Grace Atkinson wrote, "Feminism is the theory; lesbianism is the practice."
I can already hear the critics saying, "But aren't female sexual urges also a feeling of entitlement?" No: Female sexual urges are not feelings of entitlement because women aren't in power, and you can't feel entitled to something if you don't have power in society. It's only oppressive and entitled when men do it.
Men being physically larger than women
As I explained in a previous blog post, Patriarchy encourages men to eat more and become bigger and taller than women. This is already an example of men feeling entitled to eat more food than women, but it also demonstrates that men feel entitled to take up more space than women (manspreading is also a symptom of this entitlement). Conversely, anorexia is almost entirely a female problem because the Patriarchy tells women not to take up so much space, so they submit and eat less, often dangerously so.
Male Dominance in Unpleasant Jobs
Construction workers, factory workers, garbageMEN, you've heard about how many men there are working these "unpleasant jobs". MRAs love to say that men work these jobs because they are expected to, and they claim that this is an issue for men, but actually, men work these jobs because of their sense of entitlement to being important. Everyone knows how important construction, factories, and waste management are in the modern world, and men feel entitled to be a part of these important parts of our society, which is why they are overwhelmingly represented in these jobs. Women, on the other hand, choose not to work these "unpleasant jobs" because they've internalized their non-importance.
Anything that Makes Men Suffer
Men feel entitled even to suffering. Suffering is part of being human, and since most men don't view women as fully human (feminism is the radical idea that women are people too), they intentionally make their lives difficult in order to experience the full range of the human condition, which they deny to women when they snag all the "difficult jobs" I mentioned above. This is why men commit suicide at three times the rate that women do: because they feel entitled to being fully human and experiencing the full range of human experiences.
