see you say objectification but you mean it as women as a sexual object where as the actual objectification in that light was for the war boys. Not to mention dispite how bad the comics were, the wives lived in luxury and could actually clean and bathe themselves in water. They were, as he warned the others addicted to water. There's an argument to be had here if he was violent misogynist or not. but I would have to reread the comics and I don't want to.

but he saw the wives as his way of getting a healthy son to propgate a world that was slowly reviving in his aquacola area. They were objects to him in a way to get an end but not as something for pleasure. Out of all his "subjects" the only ones that came close to looking as healthy and clean as the wives were the warboys. And they still looked sickly.
