4. They think they 'deserve' "it"

You know in Stephan Kings book "It" he actually implies an analogy between his monster and references to sex and sexual acts as 'it'?

I don't know whether he meant it like that or not, but I ponder that sometimes when I think of sexist inequities;

'It'--an impersonal act that somehow men can rationalize into a right.

There are other words of separation from the personal and intimate of course, 'some' being one. "Hit" another and so on.
