Clatterbough uses a perspective that Asta Bowen provides that summarizes the parallel between the situations of men and women : Just as sexism reduces women to sexual objects, it reduces men to financial objects. Just as women have been exploited as szual and emotional commodities, men are exploited as cogs in the economic machinery, expendable war fodder, and providers who must never fail... The sex-object status that women have found so demeaning is no different from teh money-object status that men, too, have every right to reject ( Clatterbaugh,73).
