What makes men consider women as objects and sexual commodities instead of human beings? Why are so many women ok with that?

Porn, prostitution, advertising, video games, common language expressions,...

  • Women dress and act like sexual objects, they can’t expect men to the. treat them otherwise.

    • *then

    • Certainly not all Anyway, why do they do that if not to fit some stupid standards?

    • Where did I say all? And the “fit in” scapegoat does’t fly, you are suppose to be “strong and independent” after all. They expose themselves for cheap sexual attention, to compete with other girls for the attention of males. Society is not allowed to shame them or hold them responsible for their actions and they are unable to make proper decisions when they have no rules.

  • Most likely behaviors observed and taken from their fathers or father figures.

    • Probably, yes.

    • Asker you agree with this bc it's convinient lol

  • Honestly, I think it's the other way around.
    Most men would be thrilled if their girlfriend would have an interesting personality, a set of interests and hobbies, a balanced career and brilliant intelligence.
    But most women don't want that, because they don't have to. They can get enough attention, fun and even money in life just by being women.
    Humans didn't build a functional society because they felt like it, they did it because they had to. So most women just choose the easiest road in life, and honestly, can we blame them?
    But some women are not like that and those are real treasures.

    • That would be great if it was true but... Lol

    • Well, I myself would be happy to find a woman like that. It's not that easy, though. Probably the smart, beautiful and self-confident ones are out of my league.

    • Stop talking about your dating problems. This isn't the point.

  • The women that are ok with this are the women that want to be treated that way by the men that treat women that way

    • Men who treat women that way are worldwide and mainstream. They would treat any women badly anyway...

    • Only if you allow it as soon as you see it creeping out put a stop to it and go about your day

    • Should I also write to entertainment productions lol?

  • Humans are objects and sexual commodities. Whoever told you otherwise is deluded.

    • Whatever you need to believe...

  • A combination. I know I shouldn’t but when I see a super hot holy wear a tight miniskirt with her but cheeks almost hanging out and wearing high heals I start to get way too Hormuz in my head and think of girls as sex objustvs when I see them dressed so sexy. I never ever act on those thoughts but I just have very naughty thoughts thinking what I would do to her, I always think in my head how I want to bend them over so bad. Not sure if women w we have these types of thoughts when they see a guy they think is super hot but sometimes my mind goes crazy when I see a girl wearing skimpy cloths that I’m very attracted to

  • What about women objectifying us men?

    What is your problem if a woman likes to be objectified?

    When we see a person, we are seeing their body first. So as sexual beings, it is normal to find a person sexually attractive. When I see a lady, I don't know who she is or what are her values unless I get to know her, that's when respect comes into place

    • It wasn't the point. If you have a question regarding this issue, ask it. Otherwise, don't come and troll mine.

    • Well I also explained some stuff in the last paragraph. If you were so certain about your question, why go anonymous?

    • Cause I don't want to get PM.

  • Money rules the world and in general man owns the money. Which then gives him the ability to do the thing that you wrote up there. Women letting this to happen because it’s easy money and pleasure. Because sex is a mutual thing.

    • Pleasure? For who lol?

    • For both participants.

    • In your dreams lol

  • Power

    • What do you mean exactly?

    • Power and money means they're likely to be able to get away with that type of despicable behaviour

    • I agree. Thanks for your honesty an no stupid nonsense.

  • With respect, for the same reason why women still adopt sex positions that are submitting to their man. Sure, they'll be on top and ride from time to time, but if she's ever not refusing to bend over or roll onto her back/stomach or be in doggy/prone-bone/missionary, clearly she's saying with light beacons on: "every (straight) woman knows their place, instinctively."

    They're not just spreading their legs against their will now, specifically in consesual sex. Nope, they sure aren't against their will :P

    Go figure aye?

    • I've figured you're a big sexist lol.

    • Same could be said for some women who turn the tables and treat their man like a piece of meat. It can hurt both ways. Sigh.

    • It barely happens anyway so...

  • A lot of them like the attention and you're "programmed" that way by society I think. But I also think (sometimes) women think this but the reality isn't that. Sex is on our brains yes and we are visual, so this is why women think this, but it doesn't necessarily mean (every guy is different of course) that he doesn't see you as a human being, or is ONLY thinking of sex. I think women often just make this assumption and conclusion.

  • "Like human beings" has always been an interesting phrase to me. Most people treat their dogs better than their friends, so considering a person as a human being is almost an insult.

  • intinct

    • This isn't even a word lol.

    • *instinct

  • I read something the other day that actually made a strong point.

    it’s not simply that men are raised to view women as objects.

    men also view other men as objects.

    perhaps most significantly, men view -themselves- as objects who have value based on what they’re able to produce or accomplish.

    • I agree with this. Men have set standards on what "man" or "masculine" is and it usually falls under his usefulness/ability to provide rather than his humanity.

    • @Dansnlawlipop I agree. Though is that really "objectification" or just stereotyping?

    • I would say a bit of both. Think of how men are treated when they do not fall within that set mold of "man". "Faggot" "pussy" "soft" "simp". :(

  • Money accounts for porn, prostitution, advertising, and media. "Sex sells" is the saying. While it is women who get the most attention for it, men are subject to the same. How many video games feature shirtless, unrealistically muscular men? How many commercials? Not often do you see an out of shape man with a small penis in porn, do you? I'd argue we are treating each other as human beings. As human beings are sexual creatures.

    • Women are way more sexualized than men.

    • Does that somehow change anything I said?

    • Obviously. You can't compare how sexualized women are with how sexualized men are.
