So you acknowledge that you've used a word that offends people but you're making excuses and continuing to use it. That's not autism, that's being a dick.

This has been my experience. Generally, when my female friends are rejected (not just romantically, I mean any kind of disappointment), they wonder what they did wrong, why they're not good enough. The men always blame someone else.
I've spent hundreds of hours listening to my female friends ask me "What did I do? Was

This is exactly it.

I think, sadly, that a huge number of men, even the ones who DON'T actively treat women badly and feel entitled to their bodies, just can't see women as people in the way that they see men as people.

I had a male friend. He was a good friend. He's a good person. He doesn't feel entitled to sex or

I just don't think they get it at all.
Pretty much all the men I've ever been involved with, who are still single, will just randomly call me up and ask to sleep over. If I'm hanging out with someone I used to date, he'll grab at my breasts. Male friends make constant innuendo. And when I protest any of this they're

It's not.

I'll never forget this one conversation I had with a guy I'd just started seeing. He's a sensitive sort. We were talking about something or other and then he said in this slow, sad, somber voice "I actually KNOW a woman who was sexually assaulted."

I wanted to say to him "Son, EVERY woman you know has been

What's wrong with wearing a tiara? My niece wears one when she plays soccer. I'd wear one to work but...

You have better friends that I. Mine seem to think it's fair that I go into debt to celebrate them because I'm presumably out every night drinking Cosmopolitans and getting laid, ie. watching Netflix in my sweatpants.

It is hard. And I know this because I've been trying to find it for twenty years. In which time I've spent thousands of dollars celebrating the fact that other people have succeeded. Meanwhile, nobody has ever celebrated a damned thing I actually have accomplished.
But love makes the world a better place and I've

No, that is absolutely untrue. Women who are, for instance, fat, or too tall, or too old, or too ugly, are often overlooked and shunned by men and cannot just go down to the bar and have sex. I'm sure there are women who have liked you who you didn't think were good enough for you.

Furthermore, having sex is not

No. Women are not the problem here. No woman has to have sex with you. Sorry. What you want is for all women to be sex slaves.
You guys need to sort it out.

So instead of being patient, or sucking it up, or trying to learn new social skills, women should drop to their knees to suck men's dicks, even if they don't want to, just because men want it. That's not how it works.
And don't call women "females".

Plenty of women feel invisible and unwanted by men too. Most people don't want to be lonely and not have anyone to have sex with.
That doesn't mean that anyone is obligated to have sex with anyone else.

Actually, you said it: it's full on jazzed consent.

I don't think you understand what mental illness is. I don't need people looking into my behaviour; I AM mentally ill and have been my entire life and, like most people with mental illness, take meds, see a shrink and have never hurt a fly.
Mental illness is not the same as being a violent piece of shit.
There is a

Oh really. The last time I rejected a guy I got punched in the face. I'd still rather be punched or called a cunt (which happened four times this week) than shot, but the problem is the exact same.

Or he could just be one of millions of men who feel the exact same way, but instead of ranting on the Internet or calling women cunts and bitches at a bar, he shot people. It's really not that much of a stretch.

I'm really surprised to see everyone diagnosing this guy as mentally ill. For one thing, we're not his doctors. More relevant, we ought to know better. This is Jezebel. We read and discuss articles every day that discuss this exact entitlement toward women. Most of us experience it every single day.
Last month, I

Oh go away, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, it benefits a lot of people. Men, mostly. They're not going to give it up easily.

Exactly. My male Persian friends are the biggest feminists I know. They're horrified by this sort of thing. The way that they describe Iran is deeply problematic but they also make it clear that this kind of thing is not at all okay or normal, in the eyes of most people who live there.
