You are so right! Objectification of women is damaging to men and women.

So much objectification of women is carried out by media and marketing. Women are used as tools in movies and tv series. Reality shows make much about appearance and sexuality and use women as boy toys and the mere objects you protest.

The fashion industry frankly has great disrespect for women. I will not say anything about mens magazines that exploit women, other than to say these magazines should simply be boycotted by decent men!

Genesis 2: 18-24, tells us, the Lord's children why there are women.

18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”
19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.
20 The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
22 The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”

24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.”

This is the reason man and women are meant to be together. Marriage is a blessed Covenant between a man, a women and our Lord. This the gold standard for human relations.

My marriage has been the greatest source of joy and happiness in my life. I love my wife more deeply and completly now than when we exchanged vows 20 years ago.

We have been blessed many times.

Men mush respect women, women need to have great self respect and not allow themselves to be used by others.

Very tall tasks for anyone, any family.

Thank you for having the courage to write this post!
