Women And Self-objectification by safarigirl(f): 10:59pm On Feb 20, 2015
Most times today, we watch music videos that depict women as sex objects, nothing more and maybe something less. Future mothers are seen as playthings to satisfy a man's pleasure and be done away with.
Most times, when we see such, we curse out the artistes and go on the internet to rant and rave for good measure

But why? I mean, can you really blame those artistes? Can you really blame those men who see women as sex objects, not people with brains in their heads, with great ideas, sharp intellects, just someone that would 'make sense' for a bang and brag?

No, I choose to not blame men, I choose to blame women. Because women have made fools of themselves more often than not while men look on, because women feel the need to take pictures of their naked thighs and overflowing breasts in bras and shirts that are two sizes too small and post them on social networks like Instagram, twitter, facebook, and even 2go (for christ's sake 2go? Are you for real?! angry)in a bid to snag one empty-headed, dimwit (the only class of guys who pay attention to such ladies)...who funny enough, after shagging her will feel the sick need to announce to the world about his latest 'conquest'

Case-in-point, there are these two chics on twitter who let's just say, aren't known for suggesting anything creative (...well, not in areas that affect humanity wink)...they had this fight on twitter where they both basically accused each other of sleeping with men for 'chicken change'

I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't hustle, but for the sake of all that is intelligent, keep yo' shiit to yo'self angry....the entire world need not know how many men you have kpanshed. I mean, we're all glad that certain people have active sex lives and insatiable libidos, hell, we're ecstatic for you, but we would rather concern ourselves with more pressing matters

I won't even go into the embarrassing and befuddling stewpidity which that Jombo chic that komole'd with Davido displayed by posting pictures of herself with a passed out Davido after a night of (what we assume was) sex.

Ladies, looks will only take you so far. Not everyone is Kim Kardashian or Amber Rose, and nobody can be either of those two ladies on this obodo naija that we are (unfortunately), you will only end up like either Afrocandy or Maheeda (3kobo po-rn 'stars', no be better market be that undecided)...so kindly stop advertising your wares. You're not the only one with a phat assss and perky boobiess, there are about 3.9 billion other people in the world who share those traits as well, so you have to distinguish yourself with something else

I doubt anyone knows anything concerning Chimamanda Adichie's physical 'gifts' because like I told my roomie, people are too busy analysing her 'brain' to give a rat's genitals about the size of her assss, if you're talented enough, people won't care about your physical attributes (ask Lupita N'yongo). Stand out, don't just be an asss and boobiess, be a person

God bless smiley

Word!

This is a very brilliant write up and even though I love viewing the images of women who display their wares but I also have to admit that they are the ones who have made men see them as sex objects and are good for sexual satisfaction only. Some girls makes it seem as if the only assets they have is their bo*bs, ass etc. They are quick to display it at any given opportunity. Sadly, if a girl doesn't display her wares she may not even get a toaster so you may hardly blame them too as women loves to be admired and wooed. This madness has to really stop. Like you said you can't blame guys, our eyes feeds on these wares

But that's not the issue. In a society where all eyes are on making money, what do you expect from the girls that are hustling with their body. Just leave them like that. Go and hustle your own way.

You are right. Most females are really putting a huge dent on the general image of women, creating unnecessary stereotypes.

By the way dechandel, are you Nigerian?

correction, I didn't degrade them, they have done enough to degrade themselves, I'm just pinting out all of their BS cuz they end up not only making clowns of themselves, but of the rest of the womenfolk as well

I mean, have you ever seen two guys having heated arguments about the size of each other's D's anywhere? But some dolt feels the eediotic need to take a pic of her fat aSss and compare herself to Kim K....I really don't need to degrade them, they've done enough.

Yea,its every woman's choice but at times,you don't keep quiet when you see some idiots make the wrong choices.

Some girls don't have good upbringing,its our duty to show them the way.Don't say its none of your business because they might influence your children in future!

You need to be re-orientated!Women aren't an "Object for our sexual satisfaction".

Money, Fame, and Attention

These 3 factors are skin deep in most people's lives and deeper in a woman's life..These vixens you see on music videos have lost the sense of dignity and trivialized obscenity. You can never blame us men because they never sent those nud'e pictures or walk/dance half-nake'd under duress. The way I see exposed boobies and butts these days, I feel sorry for next generation of men.

I totally understand your point of view and where you are

coming from with your point. You're actually talking about the women who just decided that they wanna show their booobs or asss on social media like Instagram. For example, if a girl was suppose to put a picture of not showing her breasts or ass, just a simple picture, she will not get as much likes, as she will, if she had a picture of her displaying her boobs. I'm not against you trying to prove this point that women are the cause of them being objectify, but first of all it's not in any way their fault! it's society.The idea that sex sell is a hallucinating idea, A false hope in some sense because when we try to sell sex, we try to sell subjectivity and objectivity, where men act as subjects and women acts as objects. And objects can never be empowered. So, even those models who are paid, they are not empowered, and they are not choosing it they are being forced to do it, As because of the existing male chauvinist society, where women are for being used for sex, to do work at home, to be a baby doll, etc.And that's what mainstream media tries to project and tries to sell women in this way.
In all those music videos, you will realize that women are unnecessarily asked to be dancing and shaking their ass! while men are in full clothes. most of the male singers are comfortable in clothes while female singers are overly sexualized and hyper sexualized to sell that music or video. It's not the fault of those women but it is the fault of those directors trying to promote those videos.

Anyways! your point wasn't bad. i understand where you were coming from.
