Will men ever start seeing woman as people first, sex objects last?

40. I don't think it's so bad as that.

Please see my other post on this thread for where I stand on the clothing issue. (To summarize my other post, the problem isn't with the way women dress; it's with men's insistence to see women as objects. Focusing on women's clothing blames the victim.)

But I disagree that there is nothing a woman can do. I personally know women who got fed up with the sexism in the corporate world and started their own businesses. You may not be able to break through the glass ceiling working for someone else, but you can gain a huge amount of independence working for yourself, on your own terms. So focus on gaining skill or expertise in an area where there is a need for skilled people. Then go and start your own business. Society can slow you down to a certain extent, but it can't stop you completely. (If it could, we would still be living in the 1950s.)
