This reduces me and other females (including female rationalists) to the category of a fancy car or a big house,

Women reduce men to a fancy car and a big house all the time. I used to find it rather insulting. I'd rather be reduced to a sex object. The grass is always greener.

Both men and women get reduced to status symbols for their mates. That's the way it is. I don't get much heartburn over it anymore.

The whole point of this website is that we can do something about big problems. Like dying!

I feel like not treating each other like crap should be a much easier problem to tackle than dying. Your comment smacks of System Justification.
