Heavens! I hope I didn't suggest I had a solution to the problem of men behaving like entitled toddlers. I merely observed that there waoses a connection between that and the more general problem of people thinking the social contract does not apply to them.

Our system of laws has become more nuanced over the centuries, but it still derives from "natural" law, which dictates that your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. That is what I call the social contract. Those who cannot live within it are what we call outlaws.
