Empowered by social norms to feel entitled, men are trained to feel they need not consider the reality of women’s consciousness, free will, or agency. When women do struggle for the recognition that they have rights or when they express their independence, male rage kicks in. When men feel they get from women what they’re “entitled” to get, men are comfortable. When women act for themselves (i.e., not simply to service men’s desires), men get uncomfortable, feel ungratified, and often get angry at women.
