Honestly, I consider myself feminist (and not this third wave bullshit. That is not feminism). In my eyes, objectification is on an individual basis. Do you view him/her as nothing more than a sexual object? Then that's objectification. Just viewing someone as sexual or whatever is not objectification.     If that were the case then that would make any attractive male or female showing any bit of skin in the media objectified, and that's just not true.    People admire good physical form, and so people like to show it off and view it.    You absolutely hit the nail on the head with your last sentence.
