Human Brain: Men are Whole, Women are Parts: New research indicates what we already knew, women are objectified. The difference is, the study confirmed it's not just the glossy magazines that perpetrate the behavior, all of us do it - both men and women.
Accordingto a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology,"Women are more likely to be picked apart by the brain and seen as parts rather than a whole... Men, on the other hand, are processed as a whole rather than the sum of their parts."
The reason comes down to how our brains process information. New Scientist puts it this way, "You might recognize a house by its door alone, for instance, while you're less likely to recognize a person's arm without the benefit of seeing the rest of their body." Thus, "When viewing female images, participants were better at recognizing individual parts than they were matching whole-body photographs to the originals. The opposite was true for male images: People were better at recognizing a guy as a whole than they were his individual parts." via New Scientist
