Researchers scanned the brains of certain men as they looked at a photograph of a woman in a bikini and discovered that sections of the brain that usually reacted to objects lit up.
With men, who were known to have sexist tendencies, they also discovered that a part of the brain that usually turned on during social interaction actually de-activated when they saw the photograph.
Professor Susan Fiske, of Princeton University, told the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting that she believes that the results show that some men did not see sexualised women as a "human".
"I am not saying that they literally see them as an object, of course they know she is human," she said.
"But what the brain scans show is that they are reacting to this photograph as people react to objects. It is as if they are not fully human.

someone got paid to do this research, of course the opportunity was wasted on a female professor (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/science/sciencenews/4636689/Men-really-do-see-half-naked-women-as-objects-scientists-claim.html) :rotf:

They were showing the men photographs, of course they would be viewed as objects. they need to put a woman in a bikini sitting there talking to them to see if they get the same result. I'll volunteer for the new tests.

"sees boobs, finally looks up" Huh? What was that you were saying?
As a man, I can't explain why, but boobs are endlessly fascinating. My wife has a great set of "knockers". Even after 13 years of marriage, I love seeing, touching, playing.......... :drool:

I do not see half naked women as "objects".
If they are attractive, I see them as "objects I'd like to have sex with"
