If you read my post you will see I agree with you. Mostly I was responding to this:

“ Sure, I slept around in college, who didn’t? And yeah, I might’ve been called a “creeper” a time or two, but who hasn’t? And yeah, I use my position of power to get laid, but who wouldn’t?”

That is conflating two separate issues. Lastly “ dudes” don’t “think they deserve everything they want, when they want it.” Some Dudes do. As do some dudettes. And if you think trading sex or the promise of sex for favors or funding is a phenomenon only men perpetuate you are sorely missing the point. If you wonder how many good ideas didn’t get funded because some ‘dude had to get instant gratification’ imagine how many did. Endlessly laying the blame for gender dynamics and only when they work against you to boot doesn’t help solve problems either. Brads don’t just exist because of ‘male entitlement’ they exist because women reward success with sex and yep, even when they have access to both themselves.
