I don't think you understand what that word means. Suggesting that some women don't want to "netflix and chill" in early dating and prefer more effort is hardly entitled. It's trying to help YOU.
It absolutely is entitled. Not because someone can’t refuse Netflix and chill, but because nearly every responder expects OP to do all the work for absolutely no reason! She’s already planned multiple nice dates. Why can’t the other woman plan ONE?!?!

She mentioned she’d like to see each other this weekend and I said I’d like that and that I didn’t have any plans so my calendar was wide open for whenever she’d like to get together. She said there was an activity she wanted to do together but their tickets were sold out. It said no need to do anything extravagant, I’d like to just spend time together. We could go to one of our places (we haven’t done this before).
She never made any concrete plans with me for the weekend, but told me about how she was with her guy friends all weekend including one who came over her place.
I was kinda put off by this. I’m dating for something serious and have been upfront about that. I get everyone has a life, but I feel like it’s a little bit of a flag that she didn’t fit me in at all. What do you think?

Still, I think you dropped the ball when you suggested “one of our places” and did not follow up with anything more concrete.
1- inviting yourself over
2- before you have invited her to your place
3- maybe she has a roommate?
4- would you expect her to cook for you?
Why not offer to grab take out on Saturday night and suggest a specific movie to watch. Then, “Your place or mine?”
OP here. When I originally suggested staying in, I asked is she’d like to do her place or mine. She said she didn’t know. So I offered to come to her place, because she did a lot of driving with her friends the day before. I was going to surprise her and bring a dish I cooked that she said is one of her favorites.
