If you consider an object as something to be acted upon, of the 4 ways of representation you cited, only the first usually applies. Other ways of representation, in the examples I can think of, are often of active characters, either the corporate alpha male, or the frat-house bro. Sure, these are simplifications and stereotypes of men, but I don't think they can compare to the objectification of women through their sexuality, as portrayed through our mass media. Men act, women are acted upon.

I think they do.

Men are found in the top and the bottom of society. Men are much more likely to be wrongfully accused of incest or sexual offending children.

It's not the same I agree. But men are equally vulnerable just about other things.

Visit your local state capital, Washington DC, the executive offices of Fortune 1000 companies, etc. What do you see? Who has power in our society?

> Men are much more likely to be wrongfully accused of incest or sexual offending children.

I would be very surprised if this compares to the incidence of sexual assault. Also, men are much more likely to sexually assault women (and children), so perhaps the false accusations are proportional.

EDIT: Added last sentence of first paragraph.

Now narrow it down to Fortune 1000 companies the last 5-10 years and you will see quite a big change.

We often forget that things take time to change. There are primarily CEO men in fortune 1000 companies be because of historical reasons.

Of course you are going to find an overwhelming number of men at fortune 1000 companies but the more you move towards today that will shrink.

Now go down to the homeless shelters and tell me what you see. Who is in the bottom of society?

Men are generally found in the top and the bottom of society but the reasons have changed radically the last 50 years and they have nothing to do with women being treated unfairly.
