And objectification is something we do all the time, especially we photographers. We silhouette people in images and instantly make them objects (shapes, forms). We use shots of random individuals to stand for a general case or symbol -- objects again.
========== Actually, objectification IS sexist. Sexual objectification anyway. It is ONE of the definitions of sexist/sexism. Just a comment. Not telling Dave not to post. (Though a few more man shots would be good. I like having sexual objectification on the other foot now on then, just for the sheer unusualness of it.)
