Male entitlement is one hell of a dangerous beast,
A bit unrelated, but something that seems to strike me as similar, my trad-dad would never want to be around my mother in his free time UNLESS she was with friends or on the phone. Then, like clockwork. He'd shamble his way to wherever she was, find a couch, chair, bed, floorspace to settle, and would spend the entire time listening into her conversations as if monitoring her,
Now, as to whether or not he actually is, I don't quite know -
It even comes up nowadays. When I call my mother for a conversation that I only want to have with her, she always has to step out or drive elsewhere to get away from him,
Oh wow, that's so uncomfortable! I think a lot of men are insecure and think that when women want a private space to talk, they have to be talking about the men in their lives. But the reality is sometimes women just need a space to breathe. We're kinda seeing this with TIMs reacting to a woman-only club -- I've seen them posting things like "Can't believe they needed to make their own club just to talk shit about trans women" and it's hilarious and kind of sad that they think lesbians are so obsessed with them when most of us just want them to leave us alone!

We'd rather talk shit about them to their faces, so they know what we really think and they feel like the creepy rapey garbage they are.
Except they would resort to (totally not male) violence if we did.
