Perhaps we are working off of somewhat different understandings of the term "entitlement?"
Quote:
An entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle, such that an "entitlement" is a provision made in accordance with legal framework of a society. Typically, entitlements are laws based on concepts of principle ("rights") which are themselves based in concepts of social equality or enfranchisement.
In a casual sense, the term "entitlement" refers to a notion or belief that one (or oneself) is deserving of some particular reward or benefit—if given without deeper legal or principled cause, the term is often given with pejorative connotation (e.g. a "sense of entitlement").
So you think you have a guaranteed access to benefits (sex) based on established rights or by legislation? Haha. Dream on. No one does. I should be able to walk up to any guy and have sex with him if this is the case? It's not going to happen. Arrant. I would be living in a dream world if I believed that!

So would you want someone entitled to everything you own?
I have a sense of entitlement when it comes to expecting others will not bother me with their bs. I admit to that. I have a sense of entitlement when it comes to the way others act. In other words, I am too intolerant.
