"You have a different idea of 1WP than I do. I think most humans have some interest in sex, and certainly most young men in both developed and developing nations would like to have a fair amount of it." But only men in the first world seem to believe they're entitled to it. As outdated and somewhat horrible your other examples were when daughters were essentially sold, at least the men doing the purchasing had attained enough personal wealth to buy the woman in question, meaning they could earn a living and provide for them after the fact. I'm also totally fine with prostitution too, no issues there. That all being said, the male who feels entitled to sex is a distinct Western phenomenon. They point to tons of personal flaws they don't have, as in they aren't jerks and they don't treat women like shit, and talk about it as if that should be winning them the peace prize. The pretty girls have guys being nice to them a hundred times a day, who gives a shit if you do too?

...the male who feels entitled to sex is a distinct Western phenomenon. Have you ever traveled outside the West? This statement is just wrong. Historically, some societies had to break less successful men of this sense of entitlement, for reasons of arithmetic, e.g. societies with polygyny or strict women-marry-up norms. When this breaking was done, it was most often in strict Maslow-hierarchy terms. So poor men were so poor that they were literally starving, or they got Shanghaied onto a ship, etc. You see something similar with "fundamentalist" Mormons in western USA today: daughters are locked in the house, while many sons are abused, underfed, and overworked until they run away.
