A man’s comment, “Calm down, let me gather all my money, then come and buy you,” reduces women to objects of purchase, reflecting a problematic mindset. Disturbingly, a supporting comment read, “Yes, the word ‘buy’ he used is very right.” Further reinforcing harmful stereotypes that view women as commodities, reducing women to objects of purchase. Statements like this not only degrade women but also contribute to a culture where their value is tied solely to material gain.
