Throw em away

First off let me just say that women are crazy.

I don't blame them though. Not directly. Women are very intuitive creatures and who's to blame them if they receive and rebroadcast any of the craziness that is these modern times. For starters They are left to deal with the chemical and emotional eb and flow of womanhood while men are given a much more firm footing. Now throw in an cornucopia of pharmaceuticals including hormones, a modern diet laden with preservatives and pesticides, a psychological landscape modeled in anorexia and slew of poisonous diet products meant to capitalize on their now weakened physique. It's a wonder they even get out of bed.

But lets say we have a woman who has managed to wean her self off the mainstream remedies for the woes of the modern female. She's eats right. She's done with abusive relationships. She off the toxic skin care products and make-up. No outside hormone inputs and she has a positive self image derived from a desire to explore and improve her self.

Is that enough? I say no and this is why. It comes back to a woman's intuition. Any women who has shed the negative influences of society is a rarity and there fore bound to experience some form of alienation and feelings of loneliness. None of her hard fought self affirmation is reinforced by society and in fact, society appears to be working very hard to break them down. This is the objectification argument with a twist because I don't think the objectification is the root. I believe it is all relative. Take an art museum for example. It is a place filled with beautiful objects. Say we were to place a nude natural female on display amongst all these other objects. There is some objectification going on here but the mood is one of celebration and reverence. This is a collection of objects made with skill and love meant to be treasured and cared for.

Now look around you and the objects your life is filled with. Think of the objects you have recently purchased. Think of what went into making them and their intended purpose. Think about these objects life expectancies. Think about all this and imagine a women being put on display next to them. A good way to visualize this is flipping through a "men's magazine". Amongst a bunch of objects (toys) are pictures of women. Photo-shopped images of surgically achieved beauty. A "woman's magazine" is no different. Can we see the contrast from the art museum? This is a collection of objects which were purchased impulsively, toyed with until it's inevitable and premature break down (due to it's poor construction) to then be quickly replaced.

Surrounded by things which are cheap, how does one find value?
