entitlement – Urocyon's Jaunts 2.0

I am fucking livid about this.

I peddle video games. Two days ago, I had a guy call me and demand to know why he didn’t get a download code when his MOM paid for it earlier in the day. He wouldn’t take “we have an agreement between our company and the developers and I can’t give the code to you yet” as an answer, and called me repeatedly to demand a different answer, to whine about how unfair it is that his friends (who bought it from the developer directly) got it already, and threaten to call corporate on me.

The incident I encountered is small fries compared to this shooting, but it’s all stemming from the same. Fucking. Bullshit. Entitled MEN who don’t know how to fucking chill, who don’t know how to man up and deal with disappointment about anything in life (not being able to get their video game on time, not winning at a game, being turned down by a girl) and who resort to violence when they’re not satisfied. It’s sick and it needs to change.

Am I the only one who feels like saying misogyny is a “gateway drug to other forms of hate” is minimizing misogyny?

Does it not get serious enough with misogyny? Does the fact that misogyny is exclusively directed at women make it less serious, less fucked up, less horrific?

I get it, that it’s probably not meant that way. But the way misogyny is constantly dismissed as a side-issue that nobody really wants to talk about makes the wording of this feel very wrong.
