Self-objectification

 *Self-objectification* 

Assalamu Alaikum - Today, we live in a world where men objectify women, and as a result, women generally are losing their respect and value whether they are decent or indecent. However, this perception is not fair for our Muslim sisters who are striving every day to look decent and protect themselves from objectification and harassment by sex predators. 

Sadly, on one hand, there are women who by themselves objectify themselves and other women in many ways: 

✅When you dress to kill, you are directly or indirectly offering yourself as an object of entertainment or mental sexual satisfaction. 

✅When you dress immodestly, you are exposing other women who dress modestly by saying that women generally lack value.

✅When other women are trying so hard to remain protected, and you are busy sharing your cleavage on social media, you are harming other women. 

✅When you offer your self to sex predators for monetary gain, you are automatically objectifying yourself. 

✅When you lend yourself to product advertisers to use you to promote their business, you are simply objectifying yourself and proving to them that women have no value. 

✅When you keep opening your legs to men, you are saying that all relationships without sex are invalid. And you are teaching men to always ask for sex when in a relationship. But when you say no, they find it difficult to quench their thirst. Therefore, they have no option but to get married. 

In conclusion, Allah SWT has blessed women and protected them and safeguard them. It is left for them to denounce these blessings when they choose to display an immoral as well as immodest personality. At times, by displaying your self, you provoke sex predators to rape helpless young children due to your action. They get triggered, but they can't attack you, so they attack powerless people.
