## Resource

What do women really mean when they say, “I don’t need a man”? The answer reveals how women use men – a reality that is (quite literally) hidden in plain sight. The truth is that both men and women objectify each other – albeit in different ways. However, it is generally in everyone’s best interest to accept reality and operate in the sexual marketplace with their eyes open, as this isn’t going to change any time soon.
