They are simply powerless people trying to feel a little less powerless, usually by showing that they can still have power over someone else - preferably women. They crave attention and respect whilst only finding pity.

Perhaps this is as it should be. They are to be pitied, as they pity themselves.

The problem is that pity seldom turns to respect, and self-pity almost never becomes self-respect.
