Having worked in a women's room before where women were recovering from rape and assault on campus, and being subject to violence myself in attacks that were clearly based upon my value as a sexual object and not my value as a human of equal worth, I am convinced that if you encourage the belief that women are sex objects, or objects of physical value, then this has obvious, violent consequences.

Also, objectification of women can lead to self harm in terms of eating disorders, depression etc.

I can't type easily atm but I just want to quickly get out that the theory is more nuanced than it was in perhaps the 70's and 80's, and there's some argument that women's liberation has had some negative influence in terms of objectification. There are a lot of feminists these days who appreciate and participate in some aspects of raunch/burlesque culture and they sometimes argue that it's about women taking back their sexuality (I don't think I'm convinced by their argument).

Anyways, please excuse the ramble, but the 'objectification of women' is a real part of moderns society, and just because various different forms of women's oppression have occurred historically, doesn't mean that modern society hasn't created its own monsters.
