There seems to be some form of entitlement unique to men (obligatory not all men before someone takes this the wrong way). Sure, there are plenty of entitled people of all genders around the world, but no one knows how to lay it on, in and around the bedroom like men do. Straight men, gay men, and everyone in between or outside those lines; we all grew up internalizing the same things, the same misogyny, the same media, all telling us that men are entitled to certain things and that strong men get what they want.
Even after years of working to deprogram myself, I'm sure I slip back into these bad habits every now and then. It doesn't matter that I've come out as queer, because somewhere down the line, I was taught the same things everyone else was. That doesn't mean that we can never learn though, or at least try to do better. What good is embracing the fact that you're different, kinky, gay, or anything else, if you're going to bring all of the toxic bullshit from the vanilla, cis-het world with you?
I had to cut ties with someone I considered a friend (with benefits) after he threw a tantrum about his sexual dissatisfaction, demanding I pay for the entirety of the motel room we agreed to split, simply because I couldn't bring myself to top that day.
This entitlement doesn't end at the line in the grocery store, or on the end of customer service line. Certain men feel entitled to everything, your time, your attention, your body. You can see it in how they act when they get horny. You can read it in the DM's they send you that waste your time, immediately cross a million boundaries, have zero effort put into them or some combination of the three. Everyone remembers that guy or those guys that got horribly nasty upon rejection, or the guy who demanded so much while offering so little.
I've had some bad experiences with men, and I know that not everyone is like that, but we owe it to ourselves to do better.
Rant over, take care of yourselves ya'll!
