Women are not objects!

I think this is an excellent representation of what we mean when we say females should not be treated as objects. In fact, I think it nails it in the head. The scan bar, which we know is used to buy objects, is put on this woman to show how women are often treated in society. Women are often treated as objects that can be bought, used, and then thrown away or sold, instead of being treated as human beings. The scan bar on her face really brings to light the idea that women are treated as objects; more so, it makes you think about the idea of women being represented as objects while also presenting you with the notion that women should not be treated that way. I hope that as men see this, they will start to think about how they treat women. I hope they start to see how women are often treated as objects and that they stop treating women this way. In fact, the same goes for women who see this picture. Women also need to think about how they treat other women; in addition, they need to stop supporting this notion, whether it is in an indirect or direct way. I say this because women will also go along with the idea that women are objects because this is what society has engrained in them. Women like this need to break free of the idea that women are objects and start treating themselves and other women as people.
