Why do some Men feel that Women should exist for their pleasure?

Question

**Not a generalization of all men. Some men.**

Formed from a previous question, I am wondering why there are still men who think that us women must exist only to look s**y to them. That we are here to wear heels, dresses, caked on makeup, never cut their hair, and act submissive just for their pleasure. It is one thing for a woman to look attractive, but it is another thing to expect us to spend hours everyday just getting ready, all in order to appease some man we don't even know.

Where do they get these stupid ideas?

Answer 1

Men are conditioned to think that way and have been conditioned that way for thousands and thousands of years.  

Today:  Television, film, magazines, and every type of media in general constantly pound into their brains that women are here because they WANT to be s**y, beautiful, eye candy.  That's what women are portrayed in every area of life (I'm referring to American culture, which I assume you are also referring to).

The Past:  Everything we're dealing with today in this respect stems from underlying religious beliefs that have dictated the lives of humas since before the Roman Empire.  The great world religions began springing up around that time (Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc.) in which women are viewed as less important and beneath men.  Granted, I am generalizing all these religions to make a point--they don't ALL do exactly that.  But to some extent, yes, we all know that in the past women have been below men and have had to answer to their demands and obey them.  In GENERAL.  

In today's increasingly non-religious environment in these United States and  as (most of us are) descendants from European religions, that conditioning to view women as servers of men that comes from those former religious beliefs stays in our minds.  We are slowly changing from that conditioning.  The feminist movement has helped, but it's a long slow process.  You can't undo 4,000 or more years of damage done by people taking religious beliefs to the extreme in only one century (the approximate amount of time since the women's suffrage movement).  

My point in all of this is that as a people we have been conditioned to this "women-serving-men, women-pleasing-men" mindset for so long that it hasn't disappeared altogether since the women's rights movement.  It has actually remanifested itself in the form of what we see today:  Men still view women (somewhat) as things to please, to serve, to be there for their pleasure.  We still have almost all the rights that we deserve, but it will take hundreds or possibly thousands more years to undo the damage done to the way we as humans view females.

Answer 2

All of them are stuck in the 50's

Answer 3

Un-intentionally, through their actions.

The urge of men for s*x is much stronger.

They can greatly control and manipulate in my opinion.

Answer 4

Who knows.  Some are just jerks, so have probably never actually had a relationship and base these things on fantasies.

Answer 5

For the same reason small children believe that all the cookies in the world belong to them.

Immaturity, a lack of empathy, an overinflated ego and a passive/aggressive relationship with Mommy.

Answer 6

culture...

EDIT:

Why the thumbs down??, what i meant was its because of the culture they were brought up in. Culture is a human beings operating system.

Answer 7

I don't know why they think all that.  I believe it's perfectly acceptable for a woman to wear flats, not heels while making dinner.

Okay seriously they're immature at best, sexist idiots at worst.  I don't know why they think this because I can't understand it myself.

Answer 8

Why should it be a problem to a woman in general if some men behave that way.

That is what they expect. Does not mean they will always get it neither does it mean they will never get it.

It is his nature. Do not try to force your views on them. if they want to change and see value in it they will change any way.

If your question is a complaint or criticism it is unnecessary.

Answer 9

The same people who feel that animals only exist for their food and pleasure and nothing else. That includes both men and women.

Some women view men entirely as pleasure givers, nothing more, while they climb their career ladder.

Answer 10

YOU GOT ISSUES WITH MEN

Answer 11

You said it yourself. Not ALL men prefer submissive women with a size zero dress and too much makeup that they can  treat like a toy or a pet. But, Not ALL women mind that kind of relationship either. Some women like to fit that mold.

Some men like average sized women with a brain who they can communicate with as equals. Some women like men who they can push around and there are actually some men who like to be that guy. Preferences come in as many shapes and sizes as people do.

Its all about having an opportunity to be who you are and be accepted for it. If you are not the type of woman to who wants to fit that stereotype, you should not be forced to play that roll.

The truth is, most women are not forced to play that roll. But  many think they are. They don't have the willpower to follow their own instincts to do what they think is right. They let themselves be lead astray by false images of beauty and then blame society for forcing them to be that way. Its not society. Its an individual choice. You don't have to look like supermodel anymore than a man has to look like an athlete.

That said, look into your heart and say that you NEVER take a second look at a healthy specimen of the gender you prefer? You NEVER look at hot guy or hot girl when you see them walk by? Everyone does. People like what we like. But that doesn't mean you have to be like everyone else just because they're doing it and you THINK thats what they want to see.

Be who you are and accept yourself for who you are and accept others the same way.

Life is too short to try to be something you think other people want.

Good luck.

Answer 12

Because of women who project that image. Some women, usually the ones who are after money, portray themselves as nothing more than a sexual object. Not to mention the media, in which many women are also portrayed as nothing more than sexual beings.

I say blame the women who act this way and make it tough on the rest of us, not the men who buy into it.

Answer 13

Unfortunately, the source of this "point of view" comes from many sources, but I'll keep this short.

Overall human society places the man first, and thus many men place women in a lesser position. Since many men view women that way, they feel that the "best" purpose they serve is thier enjoyment.

It's immensly self-centered and highly shovanist. Yet this perception still extists.  u_u

Such men bring shame on the male race in general.

Answer 14

Have you considered that if you want men to please you and be pleasant toward you , you are expected to return the favor.

This gimme ,gimme ,gimme , but take me as the slob I am c**p doesn't fly with most guys.

Answer 15

Just remember that they exist to pay for a woman's dinner.
