It's usually a bloke who's so insecure and misguided that any bruising to his ego is seemingly the end of the world. I'd put the emphasis on the fragility and therefore inability to handle rejection over entitlement.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Men will always contain a subset that are capable of this.

Sociopaths and psychopaths are genetic realities and out there more than people may realise, circumstances dictate how they go. Happens in women, but just as autism occurs in women much less often (not saying he was autistic) these types of behaviour occur less often as well.

Well, I'm not sure that any of us like the fact that sociopaths and psychopaths are born but they are, just as people tending towards other types of behaviour and abilities are born....some useful some not. Stick a psychopath with a great family and environment and you could get a CEO, stick them with some chavs and you'll get a prisoner.

You can only affect social and cultural norms so much but yes....However, I think the social and cultural 'norms' of feminism and the cultural attack on boys and masculinity is behind a lot of alienation and anger....Probably not related to this case but it's certainly there.

Regardless that certainly isn't going to change over these next five years. Indeed, we will be hearing the usual 'sexism' and 'misogyny' stuff from institutions and the establishment as they continue the same approach to males as before....expecting boys to behave like hall monitor girls when hormonal differences are always going to push different behaviours in a percent and that's just normal and not 'dysfunctional'.

It's not their existence I am saying I don't like - I don't believe the amount of men committing violent crimes against their (ex)partners can be explained away by the existence of sociopaths and psychopaths.

I find the rest of your post a little one-sided - I don't necessarily disagree with some of your observations, but I think 'attacks' on masculinity, in this area specifically, are valid.

Certainly, violent tendencies have always been best dealt with by proper channeling by families and schools. We use to have boxing in schools still professions exist for people like this....However sounds like this animal left the army.

Regardless while I've never liked the language of 'respecting' women or any other such emasculating language popular today but I'm certainly of the school that any man putting his hands on a woman hasn't been raised properly or is fecked in the head. There are always rare exceptions but women are off limits in that physical sense and all real men know it.

Who knows. Perhaps they had him down as a bad apple. Pure speculation.
