Imagine a homeless person feeling sad and complaining about having no home. No one would tell a homeless person, 'You're not entitled to a house.' They understand his despair stems from a lack of shelter, security: a basic human need. The need for intimacy, touch, and companionship is well-documented for psychological health. When an incel expresses despair at being lonely, they are not claiming ownership over a specific woman. They are expressing pain over being excluded from a fundamental aspect of human experience that others take for granted. Females and soys are conflating the pain with a claim of ownership. Maybe they are projecting their misogyny? 
The very phrase 'entitled to my body' frames the discussion in a transactional, property-based framework that they have introduced. The incel is talking about a mutual relationship, connection, companionship, intimacy. But females are the ones reducing it to a simple grant of physical access to their bodies, as if it were a commodity to be withheld or granted, like a prostitute. By making this their primary defense, they are revealing that they view themselves as an object to be protected, not a partner to be connected with. That is far more misogynistic.
The incel does not feel entitled to a specific outcome with a specific person. Every person has a reasonable expectation to exist in a system that is not arbitrarily and cruelly stacked against them. If you were in a race where 90% of participants were automatically given a 10-minute head start, you'd call it unfair. You wouldn't be 'entitled' for wanting a fair race. When we point out the brutal, looks-based hierarchy of dating, we are complaining that the race is rigged, not that we deserve to win without running.
'Entitlement' means a right to something. You don't see incels arguing they have a right to a woman's body. What they're expressing is desire and frustration at the inability to fulfill a basic human need. By deliberately conflating 'desire' with 'entitlement,' they are engaging in semantic dishonesty to invalidate male suffering. They are essentially saying men are not allowed to want the very thing that perpetuates the species.
Selective Empathy:
When a woman complains that she can't find a 'good man,' she is met with empathy and support. She is not called 'entitled to a man's commitment.' Her desire for a relationship is seen as valid. The moment a man expresses the same loneliness, his pain is pathologized and labeled 'entitlement.' This is a double standard. His pain is not less valid because he is a man.
