Men and women are both objectified in the society. Men are objectified as working donkeys who earn and provide, defined by the job they have, earning they get and the value they bring to their family. Women are objectified for their beauty as a sign of her good/healthy genes. That is the way it worked in the past . It has nothing to do with misogyny. I might agree that that is not needed nowadays considering that the role of the earner can be done by women in modern days and so there is no need for the men's objectification as sole bread winners or the women's objectification as the beauty queens. But that is the way the system worked in the past and you will see the continuation of them in our society - women showing off their beauty and men showing of their wealth. Both are objectification of sorts and neither is misandry or misogyny. The problem with feminist is that they will view everything with the prism of women under oppression. Dint I say the same before ?
1. Most brides/bride's father are not going to see a man for his humanity - they would search a man on the basis of his worth as a working member of the society - his status, power, wealth etc. It signifies the ability of the man to provide for the future offspring the couple might have.
2. Most men/men's family are not going to see a woman for her humanity - they usually search them for their beauty(which signifies good genetic material) for their future offspring.
Basically it boils down to basic mating preferences.
1. is not misandry nor is 2. a case of misogyny. And funnily enough I came across the same argument from the feminists ---> how objectification of women is misogyny
