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.

@bookerdana That’s still not objectification. Both men and women admire the fictional character, but he’s viewed as an accomplished person, not an object.

@bijouxbroussard No it was Sean Connery as an OBJECT

AND I was thinking about Elvis....And he went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
And he shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler baby
Like you never seen
Like you never seen
Never seen......Gillian Welch

Sexual objectification is the act of treating a person solely as an object of sexual desire. Objectification more broadly means treating a person as a commodity or an object without regard to their personality or dignity. basic definition
