Ignorant belief

“ A man who buys the favours of a
woman does not see her as a comrade
or as a person with equal rights. He
sees her as an unequal creature of a
lower order who is of less worth. The
contempt he has for her affects his
attitude to all women “ - Alexandra Kollontai

To commodify your body in anyway, be it prostitution, manual labor, or modeling, is to market and objectify yourself.

Where issue can lie is that prostitution and pornography is a goods and service that enables abusive and degenerate behavior. To enable sex and porn addiction. Or, in the worst of cases, to enable and promote harmful fetishization of aggression towards women (BDSM or physical harm porn)
Do you also have issue with drug dealers ? Sellers of an addictive substance that is known to do serious harm to its users ? I can see the moral resemblance.

“Or let's say a woman gets in bed with almost every guy she meets, then her body is very well now an object”
I disagree with this portion. While I think sex addiction in women is also a major concern, you are free to sleep with who you want. I disagree personally with promiscuous behavior, but it is a freedom of private choice. I think having a friend(s) with benefits would be a safer and less complicated situation, rather than random hookups.
My position is identical for men and women.

Rough day at the office?

On a technical lever, you are wrong. Human beings have these things called souls, which make the body alive, which makes the body no longer an object, but half of a being.

Of course, once the person dies, the body does become an object. So you are right in that manner that if a woman goes and dies, her body will indeed become an object.

Get over yourself mate

My therapist always told me “you cannot control the actions or reactions of others. You can only control what you do”

You cannot and will not stop women from “objectifying” themselves. The only thing you can do is choose to not engage with those people.

If people stopped caring so much about others and focused more on what they can do to better themselves, I think we’d be in a much different world

A person showing off a good body is not an object, nor necessarily marketing themselves. They are proud of the kind of shape they are in and what they look like.

I had to learn that in my younger years if I was going to be accepted as a volunteer judge & official for an international level sport. A lot of both men and woman from many countries thought nothing of stripping after an event in good weather and wandering around enjoying the sun.

There's also a difference between looking briefly and admiring, and starring. I had to learn that too (and the penalty for starring was a solid blow to your head - personal experience from the 1st time I saw it).

I learned... and stuck around for 3 decades and move up in knowledge and skill until I was an Official at an Olympics and also judged at 2 world championships.

Bodies are just bodies. Some are more beautiful, and some are not. Their skill as a athlete and their personality and people skills were what mattered. Not the clothing, or lack of, that they were or were not wearing.

Also, a body is a body not because you or I or the person whose body it is says so, but because it is one.

It is not an object just because people treat it as one or present it to be treated as one. It can symbolically be thought of as an object in a person's mind but that doesn't make it one. For example, if you try to treat a hairbrush like a toaster, and make yourself think of it as a toaster, does it actually become a toaster, except in some imaginary child's play, in which even the child will ultimately accept it's really a hairbrush? Such a child would probably only continue trying to convince you otherwise if they wanted it to be a toaster to the point of being in denial, or if they had something to gain by manipulating you into agreeing with them.

We don't have the right to define ourselves to that point. Surely one can only start to accept that a body is really and actually an object when it is inanimate - aka dead.

The problem is that if a person starts treating some women's bodies like objects, it's a slippery slope to treating more like that.

You suck

Yes, I see what you are saying, but the guys who are into that garbage certainly aren't any better than the women. Some of them are probably much worse as far as having not much between the ears.

It's called capitalism and sex sells. You can sell your body as much as you sell your services.

You’ve confused “body parts” with “objects” for some very sad reason.
