Women and Self-loathing: Part 1

I don’t understand why.

Obviously for the same I am writing the first part of “how many more parts are coming I don’t know” series.

The easiest approach I guess is objectification to make women go for self-loathing always. As I understand, women collectively over time decided to go for accepting objectification. Men contribute to this effort generously. Sure patriarchal family system and other things might be primary settings but I follow one line without doubt i.e. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” told by Eleanor Roosevelt. I never believed that one has to be the first lady of USA to actually believe in it and see it happen in real life.

Obviously it is outrageous to think that women invited it upon themselves. It has been built into our collective psyche over ages through religious practices which were mostly governed by men. Later reinforcements were provided by both men and women in various ways with or without realizing the way and by what amount it contributes to the objectification. I understand my allegations are without basis and unscientific for the way they are made till now in this article. However you got to see this infographic to understand why I feel women are more responsible for this state. And you need to watch the documentary to understand how we are reinforcing objectification. Who are the actual perpetrators and who are the accomplices is not the question, issue is can you stop it from affecting you? May be you can! And yeah, you are open to make your own interpretations from what I wrote and the links I provided to! I think the question will too change for many of you. You can tell me a lot about it. Yeah I guess both ladies and gentlemen have opinion about this. However I am busy with my compree exams for now. Hence I might not respond immediately.

PS: Please let me know of grammatical mistakes in the write-up above and also about other improvements that can be made to my style of writing.
