I wonder what makes cocklodgers so entitled too besame.
In my xp's case, I think most of it was his complete and utter lack of respect for women, coupled with few opportunities to strike out on his own without the help of a woman who already had her own place, along with finding himself in a situation when he was quite young that he was homeless.
The only way he was going to find a roof over his head was to A, get together with a woman who already had a place, or B, rent a grotty bedsit and be alone.
He chose A (obviously or he wouldn't have been a cocklodger) and has continued to go from woman to woman ever since.
Of course, living with a woman doesn't make you a cocklodger, I know, but with xp viewing women as nothing more than a domestic appliance, having no respect for them coupled with a huge sense of entitlement to any money he earnt, it's not difficult to see how he ended up being a cocklodger.
So the sense of entitlement, the lack of respect, and not having the means or more importantly the desire to live alone and pay his own way = cocklodger imo.
Where did he learn his huge sense of entitlement? lack of respect for women? that women are grateful for a man? that women don't deserve to be treated as equals? That's a good question.
Where do men learn this? Society? Parents? Is it in their nature from the moment they're born? Peers?
Perhaps it is a combination of all of these, yet it in no way excuses them, not at all, and is just a theory.
