56. There are many places I avoid because of men and their attitudes of entitlement.

I do not see every man as a potential assailant. But I know that seemingly 'nice men' can turn out to be not nice at all.

And I have seen the attitude of the entitled man on this and similar threads.

If it were up to me, they would be tomb-stoned to create a better environment, for the rest of us.
