Objectification is the act of turning a real, living person into an object, in one's mind:
- Objectification is a notion central to feminist theory. It can be roughly defined as the seeing and/or treating a person, usually a woman, as an object[1].
Sexual objectification is objectification that occurs within the realm of sex and related matters. For example, treating a woman as though she only exists for sex is sexual objectification.
