New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis.

Well no **** Sherlock. I wonder how much they paid for that study, and better yet- why didn't I get a phone call damnit!

The bottom line is PEOPLE objectify PEOPLE. I was objectified as a dancer, a bartender, and I'm still objectified.

It's not just men that treat people as "objects". Women do it, too. We're all guilty At least I am

[Whyte Byrd]

No s---! But isn't that the point? Isn't that why they present themselves as objects, to get the attention they do? Why is this news to them?

I would say that people objectify most people. We objectify the store clerk, the auto mechanic.

When ever we don't "see" people beyond the "role" that in a minor sense is objectifying them.

It's just socially acceptable.

So the next time you deal with someone in a position that you feel is "below" you, take a moment and be there and really acknowledge them.

You'd be surprised at the result.

Agree 100%. Nothing like a hot chick in a bikini to make us mouth breathers pant a little harder.
