Nor was it quite the same. I mean, he reacted out of the same sense of entitlement you get from rapists and wife-beaters, but I don't know if people grasp how mundane the entitlement is. The steps from getting your girlfriend or wife to cringe to express her opinion.....then to tiptoe around you when you're being irrationally grumpy and happy to take it out on her....to actually hitting her for insubordinance. Yeah, it's the banal stuff of everyday sexism, the stuff that's so banal we often don't recognize it as sexism.
