If men didn't sexually objectify women then women would be treated wirh the same indifference that guys have towards each other. And as I expected the queer studies major shows up, 99% of guys are straight exception doesn't make the rule.

For the same reason anyone complains about being treated like an object. I see you complain about men being treated as objects. You are also stating that men treat other men with indifference. That is misandry. You are saying that men do not care about other men. You do not care about other men? How unfortunate for you. Thankfully many men do care about other men.
Other Answers:
- Personally as a woman, I do not like sexual objectification, as I feel it is extremely derogatory. It has nothing to do with being 'treated like men.'
- Women want everything in their favour. But no one can have everything as per their wishes
- I just want to be treated like a person, not an inanimate object. Is that so hard?
- Not necessarily. You would not act the same way around a possible employer the same way you would with a friend. To break everything down just to gender is silly and a conversation that will go nowhere. \
- You're being heteronormative by assuming that not all men look at each other sexually
- I'mma be really honest with you, mate. I promise I do NOT want to be sexually objectified. In any way. I am totally fine if other people want that, but I personally want to be treated like a human being, and I'm not foolish enough to give love a bad name by assuming that is it in any way associated to sexual attractiveness.
- I'm going to be a total hypocrite here. I don't mind when a guy I like "objectifies" me. When I say objectification, I don't mean thinking I'm only good fore one thing but like "Damn she's hot." And men are objectified too.......by women mostly. Ever heard of magic mike?
- Realistically I'd say it depends on how severe the objectification is.
A woman won't complain when a guy looks admiringly at her in the street (despite the fact he obviously isn't admiring her personality having never spoken to her), and a well done chat up or showing of interest (without being creepy) is obviously something that women find complimentary and appealing otherwise every person who's ever dated would have had to have become friends with no attraction first. All of this at it's fundamental level is objectifying, but it's instinctual without crossing the boundaries of what is now socially acceptable.
In short, women sort of do want to be objectified but only on an extremely basic and subtle level. As soon as it becomes obvious they feel as though their brain doesn't matter which is insulting because a person is nothing if not their brain - american women are the biggest hypocrites on this planet. they use sex to get what they want. plain and simple.they will complain about it sure and they will deny it always but they are liars. they hate admitting their faults. instead they want it to be someone elses fault as in...
WE'RE JUST DOING IT BECAUSE SOCIETY FORCES US TO BE THIS WAY...
What a pathetic lame excuse..
if they put as much attention into their personalities as they do their hair we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Everytime i hear one of them speak these days i start to wonder who gave them a break through high school and college because for some reason they don't sound like they got the FULL benefits of the curriculum.
That's why i think they have no business being leaders. - For the same reason anyone complains about being treated like an object. I see you complain about men being treated as objects.

I don't see that as a negative thing at all, I don't want your sexual advances. No one should treat anyone like an object regardless of gender, that's a human thing not just a woman thing.
