Giving Privileges to ‘Entitled Women’ Is What Got Us into This Mess

It’s about time we put entitled women in their place.

We all know one Karen who thinks she deserves to have everything she wants and doesn’t care who she pisses off to get it.

For those who don’t know who a Karen is, she’s a middle-class white woman who is entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal.

Whenever we speak of entitled women, Karen comes to our minds.

But do you ever wonder why certain women feel so entitled?

When my sister introduced her boyfriend (now husband) to my uncle, the first thing he asked was “Does he make you happy?” Then proceeded to ask what he does for a living to ascertain if he could provide for his family (my sister and children).

My sister was in her final year studying nursing at that time. Her husband was already working as an aesthetic nurse in one of the top-paying hospitals in the city. So he was doing well financially and my sister was on her way to getting a degree in a high-paying career.

By social standards, a woman’s happiness is linked to her husband and a man’s proof of worthiness lies in his ability to provide for his family.

The problem with the traditional conception of happiness and worthiness is that it breeds a sense of entitlement for both men and women.

It encourages women to feel entitled to men’s assets both financially and emotionally.

While men feel entitled to women’s bodies because women are regarded as “the price.” In retrospect a slave a man purchases to serve and worship him.

To be clear, there is nothing wrong in serving and worshipping your husband but the problem is men abuse the privilege their wives give them and turn their women into slaves rather than a better half.

Entitlement arises when someone believes they have an inherent right to certain privileges or special treatment without necessarily earning them.

We see a lot of male entitlement every day. It’s no secret that men feel entitled to women’s bodies, affection and time. Some even go as far as demanding their rights over women’s income.

Famous misogynistic social influencer, Andrew Tate is popularly known for educating young men on how to emotionally manipulate women and subdue them by force.

Tate said he takes a cut from his girlfriend’s earns who are pornstars. He said, “he’s entitled to their income because the women are giving away their bodies — which is his property — to other men.”

Tate claims ownership of their bodies. He’s not even married to them (although he still shouldn’t claim ownership). Unfortunately, Tate’s perception of women’s autonomy is a normalized social concept that has been going on for ages.

Entitled men express hostility towards women. They don’t seek approval or validation, rather they demand recognition and when they don’t get what they want, they resort to violence.

On the other hand, entitled women demand that men take care of them because they are we and fragile.

Female entitlement suppresses women’s autonomy and prevents them from advancing in their careers. By believing they are fragile and weak they lose the opportunity of getting jobs in certain sectors.

We do not regard female entitlements as an offence because social constructs have caved a conception that women should be idolized, protected and cared for.

Therefore, most women feel entitled by expecting everything to go their way, demanding attention, and believing that the world owes them something.

Unfortunately, women can’t be blamed for their entitlement. Our laws reinforce women’s entitlement by imposing biased laws that favor women more than men. Some women feel more entitled because they are paid alimony and child support without putting effort into their relationships.

When a woman exercises her privileges at the detriment of others, we turn a blind eye because “women’s rights are human rights.”

The problem is some women abuse the rights and freedom given to them and this should be a concern for everyone.

I think it’s ridiculous that the same women who want to be recognized as humans deserving respect, fought to end slavery, get an education, own property, exercise their “free will” and be independent are the same people glamourizing to freeload off their husbands and boyfriends.

I have seen mothers intentionally avoid getting a paid job to support their husbands or ex-husbands financially when their child is over ten years old simply because they earn alimony and child support even though the man is in huge debt as a result of fulfilling his financial obligations.

I have also seen women abandon their children to their parents or close relatives because they feel entitled to their support. And there are those who weaponize their bodies to force men into providing their sexual and materialistic desires.

Recently, there has been an increasing number of women who believe they live in the age of entitlement and have a “deluded self-belief and inflated sense of importance.

It was terrific for women to break free of oppression and achieve equality.

However, feminism is the end product of a culture that places self-esteem and empowerment above fairness and common sense.

Feminism produced a generation of toxic women who believe they can have it all, do anything, and have unlimited freedom of choice.

We see some toxic feminists promote obesity as a healthy body weight and to be comfortable eating more or less even if you risk dying of heart failure or anorexia.

Let’s not forget the older women who regret not having children earlier because they chose to ignore medical warnings about the risk of late pregnancy, but blame their doctors for birth complications due to their age.

Modern women have lost their sense of judgment and refuse to be held accountable for their choices.

We forget that freedom cannot exist without accountability for one’s actions. We cannot trample on the rights of other people to achieve our personal desires and we must accept certain biological realities to avoid putting our lives at risk.

As much as we condemn male entitlement we should know that female entitlement is inherently bad and must be condemned too.

We support equal rights and human dignity for women. Achieving women’s rights is a global struggle, based on universal human rights and the supremacy of law.

However, we must come together in solidarity to end traditions, practices and laws that harm one gender. Gender equality is a call for the freedom to be fully human without fear or prejudice.
