That may take days for some, it may take years for others, it may even take lifetimes yet for others. But I am pretty sure that when its all said and done, and the smoke clears all will be reveled that the world is exactly the way it is because that is how people want it.

Which people?
The unwittingly oppressed?
True. It is the female species that accepts the suitors after the males have battled it out and proved their worthiness to successfully copulate and pass on the strongest gene to ensure the survivability...atleast in the wild which includes insects, mammals, amphibians, birds etc. Surely there might be isolated cases and/or species where promiscuity is common including inbreeding. Bonobos are known for their promiscuity. Unfortunately we do not envision from this perspective but more so from 'security' which unfortunately in most societies is soley based around 'power & money'. Thus the receiver and the provider do not seem to mind upto certain extent if its legal or illegal. Personally I'm against the profession and the practice of prostitution but thats just me. Ofcourse it can be abolished in a ideal world just the way slavery was However would be interesting to see what the future political powers bring to the table not just in US but around the world. I have 2 toddlers and at times it scares the crap outta me wondering about their future but for now, things have been good.

After all between the two species, and in most species even if you looked to other species on this planet you will see that it is the female that likes to keep her options open and has both been preconditioned by not only society, to breed, but also by nature for millions of years if not billions to spreed that seed on at all costs.

Agree however one has to put aside the negative elements and adopt the postive elements from the society and/or personal experiences. Sure we see and observe a lot doesn't mean we have to live it where it turns into a chain reaction of some sorts. In other words, you noticed how men are objectified as well including yourself. Does this mean you will repeat the same process on someone else? This is where the philosophical and psychological aspects play important role. Many attempt to beat fire with fire or cut metal with metal and many stand strong knowing their strengths to face away the storms keeping their prime objective in front regardless of what others are doing. I'm very well aware that it is easy to swim with the flow then to swim against.

I think the term "objectify" has a negative connotation that it doesn't necessarily need though. Men are also objectified, and so are bosses, and parents, and siblings. We see each other in lots of different capacities and environments throughout the day and the lifetime.
And thats how it starts and gets out of hand. Placing a monitory value on something beautiful and turning it into a transaction based service Precisely how the sporting spirit is lost in many 'professional' sports in comparison to most high school or collegiate sports Playing the sport for money vs playing for its true sporting spirit. Eating a freshly cooked meal vs a fast food run
Although I suppose technically it is objectifying a woman to only want one specific thing from her body and nothing else, it doesn't have to be a negative thing if she also wants the same thing in return, and neither party is looking for anything beyond the physical.

Nobody is claiming that they are helpless. When you refer to the majority, I'm assuming you're referring to a specific country or geographical region ?
Like i said, the world is exactly the way it is for a reason. And ya, women are not all helpless as that or pretty much anything you have been lead to believe, and yes they do choose who they copulate with and all of that and everything in between more often then not. As there are exceptions to everything, but the majority do chose and do go for what they want like a heat seeking missile, the way they do it however is not so straight forward as males.
Yep..I'm well aware and often times things circles back around to me to make the decisions in life
I would not count on an external source to change anything that you yourself can not change.

At least that evil Mary Jane is still going to be illegal.
Now you know our first black president cannot possibly be a fan of keeping this illegal either. It has to be on the secret agenda for term 2.
