Why do some people objectify women ?

SW-User
I think, its not just men. Women do them self too in the name of freedom.

For the same reason some people objectify men.
@Lynda70 As I said to someone else, if there was no demand, there would be no supply. We’re seeing a sample of how many women have been approached for sex when sex was not the job for which they’d applied. Or were touched by somebody who didn’t ask first. Yes, this happens to men, too. But a majority either seem to see it as a pleasant experience, often if it was a woman, or they punched the person out. I was approached, I said no. I don’t know if my reply would’ve been different had I been in dire straits, but it doesn’t change the fact that someone approached [b]me[/b].

@bijouxbroussard You appear to be trying to excuse women who objectify men by saying they seem to like it. In the same way, men who objectify women often say they like the attention.

Supply and demand is a two way thing. Suppliers often create a demand for whatever it is they wish to sell. How much demand was there for home computers before suppliers started producing them?
@Lynda70 You seem to believe the position of men and women in society have always been equal, and are in all cultures. It happens not to be so. Like the other poster, I’m going to withdraw while things are still polite. Good morning.
Because they've been taught and shown that it's okay. It's "normal" to them.
People don't always think about the impact their actions and behaviour has on others, they're ignorant to how harmful they're being. But we all have the ability to learn to listen to others when they say that something we do bothers them, it's not easy to hear, but if you care about improving the lives of those around you, you will listen and give it real consideration.

There are of course those that are basically assholes and don't care, and are comfortable thinking they're terrible behaviour is justifiable. I don't have the same patience with such men and women.

SW-User
people objectify people.. its based on looks both men and women are objectified or tried to use for sexual lusts.. the sexy fireman or cowboy to men looking at women behinds or boobs. its the way society has made things out to be. there are those who are way worse about it than others.

Cause it sells and cause they're obsessed with lust. A lot of women objectify themselves and put themselves out there to be objectified.
@SW-User No demand, no supply.

@bijouxbroussard It's women who [b]choose[/b] to supply.

Our greed-based materialistic society objectifies everyone and everything.
SW-User
Same could be said about men as well.

It's biology. And please note, there is a line between objectification and harassment.

@GypsyMiss how come is it biology? Tf
kingofhearts · 26-30, M
@LittleUnicorn thinking the same

We are sexual creatures. Men are wired to propagate the species, which doesn't demean or lessen their other attributes, but it does mean that having sex is their primary concern - how can that not objectify women in a straight mans world? This is fact. Now, to be sure we are talking of objectification, not harassment? One is thought, the other is action.
LittleUnicorn · 26-30
Because sadly the society has been taught to think that way

@LittleUnicorn true , it sadden me
LittleUnicorn · 26-30
