Why is it immoral to treat a woman like an object?

Back in the day, heck, 50 years ago even... woman were, by todays standards, considered objects.

They were socially forced into doing tasks in the home which including taking care of the children.

While she was allowed to give input on important decisions, she really didn't have any say in the matter.

Men ruled the world back then. As a result of WWII, feminism took hold, and society changed forever.

However even today, some families still believe in these gender roles, perhaps to the extent that we saw in the 50s.

In this context, would you:

* Consider this the objectification of women?

* Do you think it's appropriate?

* What if the men and women in the family agree to it?

You will only get responses like "They're free sandwhich makers, so I approve"

Because there are no women on the internet.

Wow. Umm...wow. I don't know how to respond to this. *leaves thread*

I'm all for womens rights. Just as long as she can take 15 minutes out of her day to get into the kitchen and make me a sandwich. Thats all I ask.

in my opinion america has done some dumb things, "not let women vote, slavery, etc" i mean if you wannna go back to the stone age i'm sure theres a woman out there who lets a guy walk all over her. Good luck and that wouldn't fly now i mean sure some people are still like this but times a changing

Feminism isn't a result of World War 2. People have been calling for women's rights for along time I'm afraid. However to be on topic I'm not opposed to the concept of Objectification in and of itself but it is undeniable that there is a discrepency in how men and women are looked at in todays society.RaptorPen

Because women are beautiful and they should be treated like a queen..Ronstera

▲ I don't really understand what your saying in your OP. But I would like my woman to cook, clean a little and do my laundry. But I guess that too much to ask these days. ▲

▲ Women are no better than men. ▲

Because they're human beings.ghoklebutter

I believe this is the correct answer

▲ Women are no better than men. ▲

The very same reason men shouldn't be treated as objects... They're humans.

I'd think that the point of feminism should ideally be about freedom and choice (equal, not more than a man would have). So if the woman WANTS to sit at home and cook and clean all day, then why would I have a problem with that?

Women should be able to CHOOSE what kind of lifestyle works for them, they shouldn't be FORCED into it.

Ah yes - 50 years ago when housewives got hooked on Valium because they were bored out of their brains. Anyway I enjoy cooking and find ironing and cleaning therapeutic at times - no one should be able to deny my right to hoover just because I'm a man.

OT: it is immoral to treat women like objects because they aren't objects, they are human beings just like men. is this really that hard to understand?

if a woman wants equal rights then i better be able to punch her without people pitching a fit.
