The Female Object, Revisited
From a male perspective, women are objects first, human second.
Conversely, men are pigs first, human second.
As I’ve stated before, men see with their eyes, which is as cold-blooded as it is true.
In fact, what they see eclipses what they think. This is problematic from a number of perspectives, not least of which being our predilection for choosing narcissistic sociopaths over emotionally grounded women who value things beyond their deconstructed body parts.
Nonetheless, the body parts are still ground zero for us, sociopaths or not.
Ignoring physical attributes exposes women to hypothermia in the bedroom. This is because men want to see the same woman they met ten years ago. This doesn’t mean that she isn’t allowed to age, but he wants a reasonable facsimile that somehow ages unnoticably.
This is often the reason men disappear without a trace. They’re avoid confrontation. In fact, they’d rather escape into the dead of night than tell their wives to lose 50 pounds.
Women already know this, but they resent it, in spite of the fact that it just makes matters worse. So when their asses start knocking expensive works of art off the walls, men take it personally. The first thing they do is lose respect for them. Then they stop sleeping in the same bedroom with the creature responsible for destroying one side of a $2000 Posturepedic Mattress.
The following is a great mantra for women. It’s taken directly from the journals of Cultural Anthropologist – and good friend – Cecilia Stratisworm, and is loosely based on the 12-step template:
Step 1] I admit that I am powerless over my resentment towards men’s superficiality – and that my obsession with equality has become unmanageable.
Step 2 – I have come to believe that a Power greater than myself can help restore sanity to an otherwise twisted perception of reality that has more to do with projected fantasies than reality as we know it.
Step 3 – I have made a decision to turn my will and life over to the care of my personal trainer.
Step 4 – I have made a fearless moral inventory of myself as it relates to my delusions about men.
Step 5 – I have admitted to God, to myself and to another human being the exact nature of my delusions.
Step 6 – I am entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step 7 – I humbly asked God to remove my delusions.
Step 8 – I have made a list of all the men I have disappointed with my obesity, and I became willing to make amends to them all by providing one free sexual encounter per person.
Step 9 – I will make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when doing so would lead to further injury; particularly when I sleep with several men in the same week, and sometime, day.
Step 10 – I will continue to take a personal inventory of my physique, and when I am eating poorly and not working out, I will promptly admit it.
Step 11 – I have sought through meditation to improve my relationship with men
as I understand them, and I thank God for making me the object that I am.
Step 12 – Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, I have tried to carry this message of objectification to other women, and will continue to incorporate this behavior into all my affairs; sexual and otherwise.
With this in mind, I’m shocked every time I hear women complain about men treating them like objects.
“Guys are always following me around with their tongues on the floor, ogling my ass like some animal from the Discover Channel. They act like I’m just a piece of meat.””
Note: Any woman who makes a statement like this is either a complete idiot, or not properly medicated.
She should be thrilled to have men following her around grocery stores. Would she prefer that he focus instead on the fruit juice display and then look right through her like a ghost from the Titanic on his way to the dairy section?
She should be down on her knees thanking her lucky stars that she can still command the attention of a 100-kiloton hydrogen blast.
But women should never take male superficiality personally. It isn’t a dismissal of her intelligence, talent, emotional substance and/or success. It’s just hard-wiring that performs its own unique check list, and then passes the baton to other faculties.
Gender differences in this regard are extraordinary. I am always astonished when I hear women talk about how they learned to love their husbands.
“I wasn’t even attracted to him when we met. But he was really funny and I loved his attentiveness. And before I knew it, we were dating…”
This behavior is completely alien to men.
They progress from lust to love, but never before a lot of exposure to the first part. For women, it’s the opposite.
So what role does a man have to play in order to attract the attention of women?
#1: He must be successful and reliable provider.
#2: There is no #2.
