Another Fruit

Was it in pre-feminist society that men objectified women? Certainly in all ages men have not been without blemish in treating each other as the imago Dei . But to imply that it is a particular characteristic of feminist society that women are not objectified goes against all the emperical evidence. Why, wasn't it in the society that preceeded the "liberation movement" where men tipped their hats to women, open doors for them, bowed to them, married them? Isn't it in our current feminist society where women have been objectified, both by men and by themselves? Another fruit of this grand ideology of Ibsen.
