It is not their due for simply being alive or whatever it is they seem to think. These women that they deign to talk to do not owe them anything nor are they responsible for their pathology. Not one bit. Now I don't know where they get this idea, but it is incredibly common in society at large.
MRA's and pickup artists seem to think that they are owed sex and female attention. On the contrary, these guys are misogynistic pigs and should be rejected wholeheartedly by anyone with any sense of self-worth. They don't seem to get that the reason they are rejected is because there is something wrong with them and these women can sense it. Instead of lashing out, they need to closely examine their behavior and learn from their mistakes, the way everyone else does.
I do get what you are saying; that they lack good examples and clearly someone is teaching them that this is okay. The problem is our society is geared towards enabling this kind of behavior, not preventing it. If you were to do a survey among young women, I bet you would find that most of them have had to deal with a creepy guy who won't take no for an answer, at the very least, and sometimes worse than that.
