You mention thought crime - what punishment have I imposed on anybody other than the suggestion that they might want to analyze how their attitudes might influence how they interact with the world around them? What are the consequences of this thought crime other than my disapproval (which, as a largely powerless person, shouldn't really get in their way all that much).

I didn't bring up Eliot Rodgers - but I disagree with your assertion that he's a floating point with no connection to anything else. Like it or not he's an extreme case of a culture of entitlement, and that culture of entitlement needs to be analyzed, understood, and adjusted.

Finally, do you have any evidence that women feel just as entitled as men to sex? My own observations don't line up with that - and at any rate, they aren't raping men in any where near the numbers that men are raping women.
