Why do women like to be attractive to men while resenting their sexual desires?

Attractiveness can be a woman's power in a patriarchal world, yet true freedom lies in transcending the games of desire and reclaiming equality.

— Osho
According to Osho, women cultivate attractiveness as a political strategy: in patriarchal societies their bodies became the only accessible source of power. They often resent male sexual demands to preserve that power, staying tantalizing yet unattainable—the 'carrot' that controls. Saying yes risks becoming an object, losing leverage. The real solution is dropping power games through understanding and restoring equal freedoms.

Like holding a cookie just out of reach, being pretty gives power in a world that limited them; saying no keeps that power so they aren’t used.
