Oscar Wao Dehumanize Women

In certain societies in today’s modern world, it is seen as something acceptable to dehumanize women to merely an object. To diminish the existence of women just so that a man can be accepted is, in my eyes, something utterly absurd and should not even be an idea in any culture.
