There’s a guy out there who genuinely thought it was okay to tell a woman, “I can do whatever I want to you.” And another who ordered a lady to, “Treat me with the highest level of priority after yourself.”

Today, we’re putting them – and others – on blast. Their despicable and entitled behavior could easily fly under the radar were it not for the handy screenshot function that the digital era has blessed us with. People have been sharing receipts of some of the sick, toxic, twisted, and downright misogynistic texts they’ve seen or received from entitled men.

It seems many of these “men” clearly are either too self-absorbed to see the errors in their ways, or they simply don’t care. But we do. And that’s why Bored Panda has put together a list of times entitled men got shamed online. Because, as a wise author called Anne Lamott once said: “If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”

#1 Bet They Like It

Women have come too far to allow entitled men and their toxic traits to go unchecked. Sadly, bad behavior often comes out when things don’t go a certain type of man’s way. They’re “nice” until they aren’t. Thankfully, those on the receiving end have receipts – just in case no one believes that Mr. Nice Guy would ever say or do something like that.

Many of these screenshots are bound together by a common thread: confidence without self-awareness. Or as we like to call it, audacity.

These guys believe that attention is owed to them, rejection is disrespect, boundaries are negotiable, silence is a personal attack, and they are more important than any female who ever dared to place her dainty feet on this earth.

Many times, toxic texts follow a similar pattern. The conversation begins in neutral, seemingly “innocent” territory. Maybe there’s even a touch of charm. But then something shifts.

Perhaps the receiver takes too long to respond, doesn’t give the response the guy had hoped for, doesn’t reciprocate their interest, shrugs off an advance, changes plans, or simply rejects them.

Suddenly, the energy becomes unhinged. Pressure, accusations, blame, insults, and threats. Move over communication, hello control…

There’s a fine line between desiring someone and feeling entitled to them. It’s dominance disguised as romance. It’s when things turn toxic, and at worst, criminal.

“Patriarchy is an established framework where men have privilege, and women don’t. Historically, male experience has been the default, and women have been objectified,” notes the Betrayal Trauma Recovery website. “Due to their societal status, men grow up with a sense of entitlement toward many aspects of life, including women’s bodies. The belief in their innate right to women’s attention, affection, and bodies can begin early.”

When a man believes they’re entitled to someone else’s time, emotions, or body, their words give the game away. They can choose to swing it whichever way they please but what they really mean is “You owe me.”

Kate Manne is an associate professor of philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University and is widely known for writing books about male entitlement. Manne argues that entitled men expect women to give feminine goods like intimacy, care, nurturing, and reproductive labor while not taking masculine goods like power, authority, and claims to knowledge, in return.
