There are many instances today where women are objectified and people don’t realise it.

Many people today assume objectification is something which disadvantages women. They assume objectification occurs like it did in the past where women were just seen as objects with nothing else to offer but their bodies. However times have changed. Objectification has not gone away it has simply adapted to the times.

Today women are both objectified like in the past but have their other traits added to their value. Essentially women are valued for what they are and what they can do.

Sure this benefits women as they now get value from two sources (one more than men) but is this really fair? While women have the same advantages and are known to be just as smart as men people still value a woman more than a man that can do the same things. Inherently people assume the woman has worked harder to get where she is.

A woman becoming a doctor is admired for her perceived perseverance. As of being a woman is some how a disability.

While women readily embrace the benefits of equality afforded to them by modern times, they still hold onto the expectations of the past.

A woman in a successful job still expects to marry a more successful husband.

It seems wrong… almost hypocritical. What are your thoughts on this? (Open to anyone)
