I have sexual freedom (not in quotes) with my one and only wife. No others pop into my mind or heart, and this under the Lordship of Christ in our lives. Others, without Christ, have sexual "freedom" under the lordship of the world, perhaps.
But all in all, I know that we all agree here that harassment and "freedom" are not of the Kingdom. Good men reject these and greater and nobler men rise to fight these. And we are the latter men, here in the village.
Pretty much what my thoughts were.

dv8: By the word "today," I meant compared to, say, centuries ago in America. I also noted that it's nothing new, but is evidently more rampant in our far more Godless 21st-century society. Formerly, at least in our country, sexual immorality was looked down upon by and large if not outlawed, but today it is the "new normal" and celebrated as "sexual freedom." Maybe also in decades past men harassed women less (I don't have stats, just going off of what I've heard from those older than me) because they might find themselves at the wrong end of a gun barrel held by the woman's father/brother/boyfriend/husband. I could be wrong, though, and if I am please correct me.
I do agree with your thoughts that it's driven by a sense of entitlement.
