WOMAN AS SEX OBJECTS.

From the courts of the Mughal emperors to lord Indra’s court, women has always been the source of entertainment . The court dancers were all women afterall. And that trend is still followed till date. Women is used for entertainment even in todays world.most of the bollywood movies has to have an item number sported by the woman. In order to mbe called a blockbuster, the movies of the 21st century always keeps an item number but again for the item number to become a hit, the actress is clothed in the most scanty clothes one can think of. Such is the situation, that one when views such item numbers, nothing is left to the male viewers imagination. Why is it so that one after the other item numbers such as ‘munni badnaam’ followed by ‘shiela ki jawaani’ jalebi bai’ and ‘chikni chameli’ has to be there in a movie but never item numbers to which Salmaan khan and Ranbir kapoor dance is choreographed. Why is it never that Shahrukh khan or some other bollywood actor is addressed as ‘chikna’ or ‘munna’ in any song or why is it never that the male actor’s jawaani is decided on with the help of the song.such is the mind set of the glamour world which is also a part of media. The same media which is considered the fourth estate of India.
Another point that can be taken up at the moment, to argue on is the discrimination between man and women in the world of glamour. Men, even at the age of 60 are chosen to be the lead heroes of movies but as soon as female actors reach the age of 30, they are not considered worth enough to play lead roles in movies or even do advertisements.
Why is it so that man in the sixties, who have wrinkles and grey hair as a sign of aging, can still be called heroes while woman actors are not considered fit enough for the film industries.
Does this mean that a woman’s body is the trum card to become successful in the glamour world? These days a woman’s sex appeal judges her success in the glamour world. On the other hand, when this same woman becomes a victim to sexual assault, people blame their sex appeal and the manner in which they are dressed to be the ultimate cause. If in a glamour world, a woman’s body fetches her money and fame, then why on the other hand the sex workers who, to use their body, as a medium to earn livelihood , shunned by the society.
Such is the mindset of the society for whom woman are nothing but sex objects.
