I don't think sexualised music videos or the modelling industry are to blame either, women are free to express their sexuality and I think most people are capable of making a distinction between real life and what is essentially acting. Just because women may act a certain way in music videos or porn, that doesn't give people the free reign to objectify them in their normal environments right in front of their faces. There is a difference.

I don't believe they are expressing their sexuality, just obeying the 'sex sells' mantra from the companies ...it's the same for music, shampoo or yogurt.
I'm not absolving him totally but I feel it's a factor that the objectification of women is now becoming an accepted social norm.
I don't agree with it, but it must be confusing and here we see the product... A man who finds it hard to see women as anything but mothers or meat.
