'Objectification of men' traditionally is when the woman reduces the value of a man to the value in his Charles Schwab account plus real assets. In doing so, she is accepting being an treated as an object in exchange for more objects. Rarely are there any winners; all get destroyed in this game.
Ah "Sex & the City" did many spoofs like having Samantha (rich single women) taking on men like a man - looking for astetic beauty & size. Then Meranda had problems 'cause she had too much money and couldn't date bar tenders because the men were too prideful to date women richer than them.

I agree with |Lost hero and the answerer before me. When on a one-night stand, yes, you more or less treat the other like an object. That being said, it shouldn't prevent you from doing it with a minimum of class! It's part of the game!
Personally, I don't like one-night stands. But for those who do, well... And, yes, even with your bf/gf, when you're in bed, you do it sometimes. It's part of sex. I don't see what the problem is, as long as it's not all the time. But, hey, sometimes, you just need a good f*ck!!!

No I don't think there's a time and place to treat a woman like an object. People should be treated like people.
However, if she works at a strip club or is a prostitute, I guess her job is to be treated like an object, and she's conditioned to be that way.
And I agree with Giggly Giraffe -- women treat men as objects all the time, by only seeing him for his wallet, car, etc. It's just that many women never acknowledge this fact, and thus in the media we are made to believe that only women are objectified.

There is never a time to treat another human being like an object.

A) only if she wants to and
B) if she treats you the same- i.e. it's mutual objectification, preferably between two people who never met before and will never meet again.
I'm not a man whore or anything, but if she's hot and wants a quickie in a back room, I probably wouldn't say no.

Never as objectifying women is what oppression is all about. This means not seeing them as fellow humans but as inanimate objects. I have to agree with the poster that said your questions are becoming more abstract. Like you feel compelled to ask questions about feminist and women but you are running out of material.

Peronally, I find anyone who feels they have to treat another human being like an object has a real inferiority complex that likes to put people down udner the disguise of "just kidding"
We are taught from the bible to love one another, even our enemies, do good to those who dispitefully use you and no we can't do it in our human strength but by God's enabeling grace as we allow His indwelling Holy Spirit to minister in us and through us and not give in to human "feelings"-Christians are spiritual beings, living in a human body while on earth and we have a soul and a spirit and we choose who guides us. By obeying God's word, we will find it is wrong to mistreat others with slurs, fun and cutesy zingers that in reality have some petty reason behind the person doing that garbage.
Something about us like to take pot-shots and hurt people we don';t especially like. Love one another-that takes a spiritually mature person-It took me years of God dealing with me to let go of snide remarks, put downs, jabs, gossip, slams, which is why we have a vile messed up world of hate. We are to be peace makers and treating anyone like an object is vicious even if we don't realize it at the time. Guard our mouths and minds and speak kind words, caring and helpful-what a changed world this would be. Sarcasm seems to rule the day. Don't be a party to it-it makes you totally not the person God created you to be and yes I know this answer is not under the religion catagory.
Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you-then do it! Satan loves to make you act mean,hateful, sadistically funny,etc. You are better than that but it takes work-been there done that. changing my attitude and actions (and I still have to work at it daily)-uplifts others and myself and makes me feel good about myself instead of guilty and mean spirit. God has forgiven me and I have struggled to forgive myself because not to do so ,when God has, is to sin against Him.
My tongue could slice a rock and reduce people to tears and hurt people badly. Words cannot be traken back not matter what one says or even in asking forgiveness. The bible has a lot to say about the power of the mouth and the damage -or good it can do-choose good for the sake of Him who loves and created you for Himself..

Absolutely not! Of course, I also don't go for one night stands, etc. I'm not a strong feminist, but we women have fought too long for at least some equality. We're also not just pieces of meat.

Only if it is mutual between the man and woman and both understand this. Otherwise people just get hurt.
