(above quote edited for brevity)
This is me all over. I have no problem with them living their chosen lives, but the sense of entitlement really annoys me. Equality does not mean preferential treatment.
I think there is a lot of resentment and hurt over past mistreatment. This is expressing itself in anger and what you call a sense of entitlement. Society is confused and in a transition but not clear where things are going.
