That's not possible.
Unless you have a very different notion of what "objectifying" means than the one used in gender studies.
That's not possible (2).
Everyone's sexist, in different degrees.
tr.v. ob·jec·ti·fied, ob·jec·ti·fy·ing, ob·jec·ti·fies 1. To present or regard as an object: "Because we have objectified animals, we are able to treat them impersonally" (Barry Lopez).
To objectify is to dehumanize.
Dehumanization often ignores the target's individuality (i.e., the creative and interesting aspects of his or her personality) and prevents one from showing compassion towards stigmatized groups.
