Considering his rather mysgonist outlook, I looked through the manifesto for instances where he was wronged by women. Oddly enough, there are none, unless we count a girl who pushed and yelled at him in childhood, because he first bumped into her. Other examples are of the type where a woman he smiled at didn't smile back, where a woman he said "hi" to, didn't respond. If female rejection was what he mostly blamed for his suffering, where is that rejection in his manifesto? Or did he expect women to flock to him, without any necessity to make an effort to meet them or talk to them?

I cannot say for certain. But the impression I got is that he never lifted a finger to approach women at all. Females were simply supposed to fling themselves at him, and when they did not, like some angry, neglected god he felt there had to be retribution. Seems he saw women as trophies and utilities that should have read his mind and put out.

If anything, the actual named women in his life were all overly kind to him, with the possible exception of his stepmother who tried to set limits to his behavior and assigned him chores such as cleaning which he felt were beneath him and belonged to the hired help.

While I definitely don't want to lay blame at his parents' feet, I wonder if here was another kid who had never had to deal with real, naturally occurring, age appropriate disappointment and thus failed to learned how to cope with the simple fact that we don't always get what we want. Seems like there is a growing population of frustrated narcissists out there, and one wonders if it might stem (partly) from always getting their way. Never having to go through life hearing the unfamiliar word, 'No.' This quote from his manifesto might be insight to the failure of healthy childhood maturation:

"At mother’s house, all of my needs were met with excellent precision, whereas at father’s house…"

Combine that with disgust at having to do chores he thought the 'help' should do, scream about a sense of entitlement worthy of the most stubborn, spoiled two-year-brat.
