WOMAN'S SELF-WORTH, THE SELFIE, AND THE MALE-GAZE

These words from the ravishingly beautiful and richly feminine, Emily Ratajkowski, are powerful statements in the service of freeing up female-sexuality from its shackles and restraints, "“A selfie is a sort of interesting way to reclaim the gaze, right? You’re looking at yourself and taking a photo while looking at everyone. But also who cares? ...That’s not the issue. A woman can be SEEKING ATTENTION and also make a statement. They don’t need to be mutually exclusive.” And, in my opinion, they should not be.
Yet, there exists a flipside to this exclamation: if a female can indeed desire attention and be also making a statement then a man too should be able to respond to this attention-seeking initiated by a woman and not fear humiliation or degradation. Right? After all, we cannot entertain one with the other; and female sexual-liberty should not be bought at the expense of masculine self-worth: both men and women can esteem each other, and as woman exalts herself by reveling in the gifts of her womanhood then she has through her expressions and acknowledgements the power to exalt man also. It is through such symbiosis that true egalitarianism can be won.
I find it useful to acknowledge that the only reason any of us is alive on the planet today is because our Daddy got a boner when he saw the naked body of our Mummy. Let's not be prudish now and ignore the blatantly obvious. Without the objectification of female-beauty there would be no perpetuation of life. I will end with this quote that to me describes the fundamental differences between men and women, "A man's desire is for the woman, but a women's desire is for the desire of the man."
