for sure, but it seems to me that it is mostly men objectifying women right? when women objectify men it is seen as funny and cute and something "girls do."

hence my question about whether gay men objectify other men and whether the gay men who are objectified are offended by this.

frankly, most straight men I know DREAm of being objectified sexually by women. Whether it is dehumanizing or not does not matter to them, it is about the sexual urge. It just so happens that over the past centuries women are the "objects" of desire, wheras men are the ones seeking to snare/woo/court these "objects"

mass media allows for a very unhealthy overexposure of the female body as an object of desire. sex sells everything.
