Since entitlement, or more specifically male entitlement, is the crux of much of what we've been discussing in this video.
Let's take a moment to define what male entitlement actually means.
First, I want to hear what her definition of male entitlement is.
Achievements on Sony PlayStation platforms are called trophies.
waiting for this for years they were called entitlements which is a fitting name for those that fall into the women as reward trope since entitlement or more specifically male entitlement is the crux of much of what we've been discussing in this video Let's take a moment to define what male entitlement actually means.
First.
Sorry.
I love that this.
She talks about this all the time, and she's only just got around to defining this.
Yes.
I know I shouldn't have interrupted, but it just really pisses me off.
Sorry.
The word entitlement refers to the conviction that someone deserves something, that they're owed it, that they have a right to it.
By extension, male entitlement is the conviction that men are owed something by virtue of their gender.
It's the belief structure that tells men they deserve to have their whims catered to both culturally and interpersonally.
One of the most harmful aspects of male entitlement is the false belief that men have a right to survey and use women's bodies.
Okay, just men, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
I want her to realize that these kind of men are universally hated by men.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's more, it's, I'm confused.
Change the word male to female.
And then you actually have an accurate assessment here.
Have you never had a woman say, hey, can you go and pick that up for me?
Can you open this thing for me?
Can I use you as a fucking object?
Can you carry this for me?
Can you do this for me?
Who is expecting to have their whims catered for here?
Is it men going to feminists and saying, hey, you're not making feminist games right?
No, fuck is it?
It's feminist women going, oh no, you're not doing this right.
You have to cater to my fucking whims.
So this is entirely projection.
I realize this is an extreme example.
Yeah, I realize this is an extreme example.
But just to get the point across, an example of a man who actually believes they're entitled is Elliot Roger.
And I don't, like, that's the, those kinds of men, when people like me see guys that have this kind of attitude towards women, we kind of push them out.
We don't let them associate.
They're not acceptable.
No.
This is not like an example of the average man, and that's what bothers me about this.
Exactly.
She doesn't make that distinction.
But honestly, just look at this, though.
If you were to literally, like she said, female or feminist entitlement is a conviction that women are owed something by virtue of their gender.
That's feminism in a nutshell.
Honestly, this whole fucking thing is projection.
Everything about it.
I'm more interested in the ending.
I don't remember her ever saying this.
She may say it.
I can't remember the video exactly.
But when she says, survey and use women's bodies, I'm wondering if she's trying to make people think about that in terms of using it in a game as a reward.
I think she means literally, like women, like actual women.
Like men use and dispose actual women.
But is the idea to get you to think about, wow, we use women's bodies in games and we wouldn't accept that in real life?
I think she means sexually, surely.
But I mean, maybe she means generally.
I really like that.
If you just switch some words around, it basically just sums up feminism.
Yeah, let me print screen this fucking.
Yeah, there we go.
This will be done before the end of the stream.
Go for it.
This is feminist entitlement in a nutshell and just deserve to have their whims catered to both culturally and interpersonally.
Use my personal pronouns, you son of a bitch.
You know, don't you misgender me.
You know, just fuck off.
Everything about this is feminism.
It's just 100% projection.
You know, I can't believe they lack self-awareness to this extent.
Actually, I can completely believe it.
What am I talking about?
Unlike access to clean water or healthcare, which should be considered human rights that all people deserve simply for being human, access to a woman's affections, her body, or her sexuality is not a right owed to anyone except herself.
This should be obvious, but unfortunately, male entitlement is a pervasive problem in our culture today.
The male entitlement is not a problem.
I'm going to go back over because I literally deserve to have this leader.
I want her to prove that male entitlement is an actual issue today in society.
It's obviously not.
It's self-evidently not.
I mean, she just, again, just presents a premise, but gives us no proof that it's true.
And assumes her own conclusion.
Exactly.
One of the most harmful aspects of that is.
That is what we call in the business begging the question.
And she does that so fucking often in these videos.
The business, June.
It's the business.
She's riding the wave of outrage.
She's expecting people to come into this, have, like I said, the 25 fucking minutes of these examples that these people can go, wow, that's so sexist.
And they'll be like, yeah, this person has shown me the light, showed me what's wrong with gaming.
Except these assertions at the end on the back of that.
Yeah, it reminds me of the.
I remember reading a thing about Alcoholics Anonymous and how they'd go through all this stuff, and then by the end of it, they'd be trying to get people to accept God.
That's scary shit.
No, it's going to be part of the 12 steps or whatever.
Yeah, Alcoholics Anonymous is a church-based program, and like two or three of the last steps are accepting God, as you're more than saying.
It sounds very much like that to me.
You know, where suddenly, and now we're going to talk about male entitlement right at the end of all this stuff that you may well have believed because it kind of sounds like it might be true.
You know, it really sounds like that kind of like almost tricking people into it.
That's a perfect kind of sophistry.
It is.
Ancient Greeks are jealous.
This mentality carries with it a corresponding set of expectations about what women should provide for men.
It's a worldview that primarily defines women's social role as vessels of sexuality and men's roles as consumers or patrons of that sexuality.
Women's social role as vessels of sexuality.
Who is saying that anyone believes that?
What are the odds of anyone actually thinking that?
Yesterday, I was walking my dog and I just saw this hot bitch.
I picked her up and just fucking cracked her open to get that sexuality.
It's just like, but by her saying that, it's like there has never been a woman that has ever accomplished anything.
There's never been a woman.
It's fucking unbelievable.
I just finished my homework.
I put it in the chat.
Oh, God.
I dread to think.
Hang on.
She changed him.
That's great.
That's funny.
I can't see.
I'll put it on the screen here.
Yeah.
I'll tweet it to you personally, though, Junebug.
There we go.
Female entitlement is the conviction that women are owned something by virtue of their gender.
It is the belief structure that tells women they deserve to have their whims catered to both culturally and interpersonally.
One of the most harmful aspects of female entitlement is the belief that women have a right to survey and use men.
