Objection to the society's irrational response to "sexual objectification."

This was originally written as a response to a post in another site about objection to female sexualization in media, but I think it got lengthy enough to be a stand alone post.

I am a bit irritated to the typical irrational response to the word "objectification" by so many people. We objectify and manufacture for "consumption" countless things. There is no logical or moral reason why sexuality should get any special treatment.

I'd dare to say there is nothing wrong with objectification.

When an Uber or an airline pilot takes you somewhere in a transport, those people are objectified, they are just something to be used for you to get somewhere. Their personality or qualities as a human does not matter. But, Airline pilots don't come on SJW media and whine, "I am a human, not just a tool to fly you somewhere. Stop objectifying me. whaa whaaa."

When some unattractive male actors comes in an action movie as an extra and be blown to bits within seconds of coming in the scene of the movie for our entertainment, those actors are pretty much the epitome of objectification. They are used. They are consumed. Dehumanized. Their death portrayed as comedic entertainment. But, no one whines about that objectification, since it does not involve the all important all sensitive “sexuality.” Is that objectification wrong? No. I don't think so. Those actors voluntarily agreed to it. Its not like the audience who laughed at their death scene are going to find real people being blown up to be funny just because they were entertained by a comedic action movie. And, it's not like a man who felt some satisfaction watching pornography is going to think all women should want sex at every house he delivers a pizza to.

There is no logical connection to some one or some group being objectified or their image consumed in media to those group being disrespected. Some men buying a princess Leia slave costume poster does not logically mean those men has no respect for women. Me having no interest what so ever for the personality or life troubles of the pilot while taking an airline somewhere does not mean I would not treat that pilot as a human if I meet that person in a social setting. Some women ogling a male character they like does not mean those women only sees men as sex objects.

Objectification is a situational thing, and objectification of something by someone in one situation does not infer a permanent way that someone always views something. Objectification is value neutral. It's not by itself good or evil.
