Everyone is considered an object. Women are much finer and more valuable objects, whereas men are cheap replaceable ones. That's how the reproduction economy works. I speak of nature, not society. Think of how many babies each can have. It's also why men see women as sex objects, because their own sex drive drives them nuts. Women who've mistakenly taken testosterone often comment things as extreme as "I completely get why men rape now". If men actually had purposes other than being sperm donors maybe they wouldn't be so messed up. It's literally a lethal drug.

All of this bleeds into society, but the root of the issue is nature.
