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.

1. Age for age, the average man has 14 times more libido that the average woman.
For men, the eyes are an erogenous zone.

2. We all have four possible reactions when we first lay eyes on someone, a potential:
friend,
enemy,
mate,
or neutrality, disinterest.
The reaction is conditioned by culture, but it's basic and quite often unconscious.

3. Put these two together and the results are inevitable.
It's our social training that teaches us to inhibit our inappropriate urges.
Many men will try to get away with transgressions if they think they can.

Advertising, movies and media merely use what already exists to increase their profits.
