Science Theory

There is also evidence to support other theories. One of these theories states that women are objectified because of science. This theory, which takes the “it’s human nature” and “they can’t help it” approach, relies on experiments. In a recent study conducted in 2009, presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, discovered “that when men see photos of scantily clad women their brain registers the women as objects to be acted on” (Nicholson).  That is correct; it is engraved in men’s brains.  A psychologist from Princeton, Susan Fiske, completed a study that compared “heterosexual men’s perceptions of scantily clad women, scantily clad men, and fully clothed men and women” (Nicholson). Predictably, the male subjects remembered the photos of the scantily clad women most vividly and easily. The study also had the men “look at photos while their brains were scanned” and Fiske found that “this memory correlated with activation in part of the brain that is a premotor, having intentions to act on something, so it was as if they immediately thought about how they might act on these bodies” (Nicholson).  The areas that were activated included the premotor cortex and posterior middle temporal gyrus, which “typically light up when one anticipates using tools, like a screwdriver” (Nicholson).  This study illustrates that men look at women as objects because they have no other choice. It is wired in their brains, their biology. This is why men are considered to be more sexual in general.  You never hear about women needing sex and masturbating like you hear about it with men.  There is also proof of this:

"We know men think about [sex] more than women," says Edward Laumann, lead author of The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the United States, a compendium of the most comprehensive survey data on sexual practices since the Kinsey Report. Ask men how often they think about sex and "the majority of males between 18-to-59 of the U.S. population report that they think about sex at least once a day - one third think of it several times a day," says Laumann. "Only 25% of females report thinking about it every day." And men report having more sex partners over a lifetime than women: averaging six for men, two for women (Laumann).

This is clear evidence that men think like this because it is their nature to.
