One more Hadith

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
"The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask Thee for the good in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her; I take refuge in Thee from the evil in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her." When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing."
Abudawood, Al-Nikah (marriage), Hadith Hassan.
==========================
I'd never come across this hadith, but why;
why women are the ones always linked to evil?
why can't SHE pray like that and ask for the good in him, etc?
why is she often equated to objects and animals?
