Why are women objectified more than men ? Even by other women ?

On EP, a guy was "complaining” that women’s bodies are more fetishized than men’s, and he thought it was unfair. It kind of [b]is[/b], but not necessarily in the way he meant.

Women’s bodies are valued as things, first and foremost. Things to display, things to barter. Even other women buy into it. That’s probably why so many people think they have the right, even the imperative to legislate women’s reproductive choices.

Rant over.

Leftover from partriarchal structures since lust and desire are still seen as a male thing and I barely see any representation of female lust and desire aiming at the male body. Women unfortunately buy into it and believe that their self worth is directly tied to the way society views our bodies.

It would be nice to see both genders with different body types represented in media. Shifting from perpetuating beauty standards and unrealistic male expectations to representing real people and the beauty that lies in our bodies without having to sexualize them.
