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.

Why are women more objectified then men?

Because that is what we are taught from birth and this is everywhere where we look.

For generations women have been objectified in all forms of media. It happens so often that it’s just normal to everyone now at this point that we are even desensitized to it that we don’t notice.

It’s everywhere, it’s in Disney movies, cartoons, prime time tv, advertising, magazines, etc.

It’s gotten even worse with the internet, filters, airbrushing, cosmetic procedures, etc. So much pressure is placed on women to be perfect.

Even here you can see the responses women get. Nude pictures of a perfect woman get so much attention, nudes of a not so perfect women don’t get as much positive feedback.

Now in the US women are being told they do not have rights to their own bodies. Men are making these decisions for them. We are going backwards and not forwards.

@iamonfire696 I also kind of wonder where is the male equivalent of Karen. 🤔 You know, that kind of annoying customer that feels very privileged and complains about everything. What's his name again? Oh, he doesn't have one...because when a man complains he's the boss. And everyone just cheers we found a name for an annoying woman who dared to open her mouth. Both men and women equally.
