Well...I could crack an exasperated joke, but: For a number of reasons we're talking about a population that generally does not have as solid of a sense of self as one could hope for. They have learned that the Internet will enable them to indulge things that are clearly not reality-based. So what is obviously delusion to us is a bit fuzzier to at least some of them and made worse by the sea of enablers.

So they really do think that wallowing in fantasy is okay now.

When I look at people like that guy or any other male athlete stealing opportunities from female athletes, I think about all the accomplices they have in these endeavors: So many have held open the door for them and encouraged them to run inside and ransack women's protected spaces that they now think it's okay, as long as there's a mob between them and the women they're violating, at least.

They never really look completely at ease with what they've done.

The scary part is that they do not stop themselves. They're okay with being carried along by a mob of bullies. So as they stand there on those podiums, having stolen what rightfully belonged to women, all I see is their total complicity and the excuses they undoubtedly tell themselves in those moments, about why it's okay to steal.
