Is "objectification" anything other than a hate for male sexuality? Nominally it apparently is "the act or an instance of treating a person as an object or thing". Which already does not make sense even related to male sexuality, because most men want to have sex with a person, not a toaster.

So then we have a second informal definition of, I guess, having a direct personal interest related to the person and not caring about their feelings a lot. Which *also* doesn't make sense related to male sexuality because yes, while a man may want to have sex with a woman without caring about her feelings, it's ludicrous to think that's the only time anyone ever has a practical interest  in a person without caring about their feelings. With that definition, "objectification" would be the standard way of interacting with anyone that is not your personal friend. Even if you limit it to sexual interest, women would still "objectify" men just as much as men "objectify" women, just with a slightly different personal interest. It only works with the implied assumption that caring about status and money more than youth and beauty is somehow an inherent moral good.

So in the end, the actual definition of the word as it is used really is just "men wanting to have sex with a woman without also serving her interests in another way"; it's a demonization of what women don't like about male sexuality dressed up as enlightended science.

The women's hate for objectification comes evolutionary from the higher cost of reproduction. If my consequence from having sex is carrying a goblin inside me for 9 months and then getting your insides twisted just to give birth to a potato that will scream and screech constantly for 2 years, I will also be bitchy if a dude only wants get into my pants. That's it. That is the reason why the emotion exists, and why men dont have give a big fuss when they're objectified. 

Even though condoms, plan b, abortions exist, women still have that evolutionary wiring that causes them distress when a male looks at them like a creep. That's why we shouldn't objectify women. There are women indeed who are worth nothing more than having sex with, but still it causes them distress, so don't do it.

Still, there are times when women use "objectification" buzzword wrongly. For example, when I express that I want to have sex with a woman, that still isn't objectification, because there isn't anything in that sentence that gives the information that I view that woman ONLY sexually, but because of the aforementioned reason, women will look at me like I'm a creep. Also, all that "objectification" goes away when an attractive guy treats her like an object. One more peculiar example I have noticed is the term "romantic object", which doesn't make sense at all. So, I'm treating you like an object, because I want to cherish you, take care of you, develop an intimate connection with you. That's bullshit. Women only invented that term so they can shame men whom they view as unattractive.

And i don't want to get started with the sheer hypocrisy that is slut pride...
