Both men and women may be hardwired to objectify women’s bodies

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is suggesting that both men and women are guilty of objectifying females.

Because your brain perceives an object as being either a coherent entity or a collection of parts, you rely on two different cognitive processes — global and local scanning. And it appears that which of those processes you use depends on whether you're gazing upon a woman or a man. When you look at a woman, you see her as consisting of various body parts, but if it's a man, you tend to see him as a single whole.

Once the results were in, the researchers noticed that women's sexual body parts were more easily recognized when shown in isolation and separate from the entire body. Men's sexual body parts, on the other hand, were more recognizable in the context of the entire body

A little bit of difference can make all the difference. And, as the French hetero's say, "Viva le difference".
