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.

Well testosterone AND patriarchy make it normal for men to think about sex every couple seconds, advertise with sex (women), sell sex ( porn), buy sex ( sex content). Women TEND not to mentally lead with sex.

When my husband and I watch movies he randomly blurts out things like wow she has big boobs lol. I don't blame him for being a man but I probably didn't notice since I was watching the story.
Even gay males tend to be way more sex driven and promiscuous than lesbian females. ( its not related necessarily to being hetero). If you visit a gay club its all about sex most of the time. So if they were the majority perhaps then men would be objectified the most lol

So my point is that in a male driven society they are going to push sex at every angle. And women buy into it hook line and sinker because they can use it to obtain what they want and sometimes just because they are brain washed into believing that this is the purpose of a woman to be beautiful to men.
Many exceptions to what I said but overall....

@REMsleep Why do men with partners need to comment and express excitement over other women's boobs? Aren't they happy with their partner's size? It always bothers me. Maybe I don't understand it. But I see this sort of thing as a threat, that if a man is so sex-driven, he's also more likely to cheat, which means he feels unfulfilled in his current relationship.
