Why Does Society Only Objectify Women?

I see people making non-sensible comments and judgement about other people, without any studies or research. Indian society is a classic example of this.



Arranged marriages are very common in India, even today. It's sad that mothers of young men, being women themselves, objectify the women prospects.



1. They think that their son is handsome - where in the reality he's a big perv. And they want a pretty, intelligent woman as their daughter in law, who would manage their grandchildren and their son, in direct words serve them and obey all commands.



2. Indian society is biased towards men: they don't teach their sons to behave with women but they would expect their daughters to have all good qualities, to wear appropriate clothes, to be home before sunset.

I'll give you some of my experience:



I've been in this arranged marriage process for about 3 years or so. Some of the mostly encountered examples -



1. One woman - mother of the guy - rejected me based on the fact that I'm the only child. She said I will not be able to share things things with others - the exact words - to my mom over the phone. I mean who is she!!! How dare she say that to my mother!!



A. Does she know how difficult it is to raise an only girl child in India??



B. She hasn't even talked to me yet. She doesn't know how many members are there in my family. She doesn't know what are my values and how I am with my family, my relatives and my friends.



2. The other day this woman replied over the email - I'm not fair (my skin complexion).



A. If you look at the guy, he's not handsome at all. Sorry to objectify this guy here - but she started it. He looks like a typical perv.



What king of expectations are these! My point is, being a smart, intelligent woman, it's difficult for me to find a smart, intelligent groom who can respect a woman. Because let's just face it, the ugly truth, smart, intelligent guys don't like smart, intelligent women.

3. Men want smart, intelligent, beautiful (must be quality) to date or to marry.



A. Are they smart, intelligent and handsome at the same time themselves to have this expectation?



B. Smart men don't like smart, intelligent women, they would be likely with baby dolls who would walk with them as a model. Get a lit of all the CEOs, CFOs, all famous intellectuals. You would find their spouses or girlfriends that are not that of competitive as they are.



We should be proud of being in the 21st century!!



I have written this article based on Indian culture because I'm from India but you would find similar cases in other cultures as well.
