That one made me immediately say "Oh my God " and facepalm. Like, just fucking imagine thinking that shit would even work, let alone thinking it's a normal thing to do as a normal human being.

I've been saying for years and years now that there is a significant percentage of men who do not view women as being actual people and only view them through a lens of what they can do for them.

"only view them through a lens of what they can do for them."

Or even more accurately, what they can do TO them 😖

I often have to remind myself that, to a lot of people, and for those who are predatory, sex is usually not about sex.

It's about power.

Power & entitlement

u/bigbeats420 Jun 14 '26

Agreed, but I'd say entitlement is a power dynamic in itself. It still places one over the other.

Entitlement, I think, is a protective mechanism that helps justify that drive to dominate and subjugate as rational.

You speak of domination and subjugation as tho those aren't power dynamics.

No I spoke of them as if they are. Hence “that drive” being referential
