That said: I'm not really sure that women are "desperate to be objectified"; we live in a society that (still) very much tells women that they're supposed to be pretty, to be ornamental, that they have to wear makeup and high-heeled shoes and remove all their body hair and generally focuses on female appearance to a degree and extent that's honestly rather absurd--read pretty much any magazine article about any prominent woman in any field; odds are the interviewer will tell you what she's wearing in the first paragraph. You'll also notice they generally don't do that with men. And then there's stuff like this. If women are happy to be objectified, it's because we live in a culture that tells them they're supposed to be objectified (and also the women modelling for Sports Illustrated are getting paid for it).
