When women are viewed as objects then anything can be done to them. If a woman is the same as a chair, not even as high as an animal, unable to feel pain or mental anguish, then there are no consequences to any act you commit on them.

Objects can be destroyed, hit and broken. You own the object, or someone else does, but the object does not need any protections. The only pain is cause to the owner of the object because the object is damaged of the person hurts their fists in causing damage.

Objects have no feelings, you can shout and scream at them, put them down, they will not feel it.

Object are better when they are aesthetically appealing so people have the right to make their objects look how they like. They are objects so they have no care how they look.

You cannot rape an object they. The are just tools to be used. They have no autonomy.

Women constitute an overwhelming majority of those who experience domestic violence; furthermore, the vast majority of perpetrators of domestic violence go unsentenced. The objectification of women innately implies the denial of humanness, and dehumanization is known to play a role in willingness to engage in and acceptance of interpersonal harm. Yet, important questions remain. The current study examines the type of humanness objectified women are being denied, and how that denial implicates perceptions surrounding domestic assault. We predict that associating women with objects, and not animals, may be uniquely implicated in the lack of consequences for perpetrators—for objects cannot feel pain. In the current study (N = 319), we manipulated the presentation of a woman as sexualized or not and purported that she had been involved in a domestic violence incident. We found that when the target …

There has been further study on the neurological fact that sexualised women are not viewed as people but objects and not perceived to be able to feel pain or suffering.

I was thinking about this and artists and use of our own image, our own bodies. We have been labeled narcissist, and have been seen as being over sexual. I wonder how many people think of us as objects, as now owning us. I could have an exhibition and sell tote bags with a printed image taken from a drawing I have done of myself. I could put on the tag ‘buy me’ or ‘own me’ and people would believe they do. I am making myself an object to be owned. I just wanted to express my ideas through my lived experience. I do not doubt that men would see this an an opportunity to say and do what they like to me. I don’t think I will ever sell tote bags with my image on. I am not as brave as Tracey Emin.
