Sexy calendars and pictures of topless models in tabloid newspapers really do lead men to think of women as objects, research shows.

When men are shown images of women in bikinis, the part of the brain they use when thinking about DIY tools and other objects lights up.

At the same time, the region they use to try to tune into another person's thoughts and feelings tunes down, brain scans showed.

Her experiments also found, perhaps not surprisingly, that men remember the images of scantily-clad women better than those of fully-clothed women.

Damn science for killing all our excuses :(

Duh?
Most men won't go as far as treating real women as objects, but when we see sexy photos of them, we tend to just think of all the things we could do to that woman. We aren't going to think of... oh I wonder how good of a talker she is... is she intelligent? Can she be a good mom? Will she be a strong and self-supporting woman or need me to do everything for her? And etc etc etc.
That's what we do during dating. Not when looking at sexy pictures. It's purely fantasy of all the ways we can use that sexy body to our liking.

How about the related study showing how women react to scantily clad men? Oh wait, we already had a thread about that wherein someone discovered that even monkeys copulating turned women on.

Well, that explains the bikini calendars in auto shops.

I am guessing it's a typo that should have read DIY

Edited the utterly embarrassing DYI...

Wait a moment. This study only really shows that when men are shown a THING like a photo, the part of their brain that processes objects is active, and not the part that processes PEOPLE.
So we are now one step closer to proving that Picture != Person

How do you expect her to get another grant if she did all that in one study?

In all seriousness, the lady running the study should've thought of that and rolled out topless women in the flesh and done the brain scans again. Bad science is bad.

I will volunteer my services as a man to participate in a followup study

Women rarely maintain their subjectivity in sexy photography geared for men. Instead, they become passive objects of men's sexual desire.

Men, on the other hand, almost always maintain subjectivity, even when scantily clad for women's/gay magazines.

I think I need to be shown live scantily clad women and see what my brain does then.

The relationship my brain makes when it comes to tools and women is that "Satisfaction" video with the chics and the power tools. What a glorious video.
