Elder Statesman
Actually, I believe St. Lucifer has a point, although crudely made.
Sex is a commodity. Since most women make less than men, it's up to the men to buy and sell the female. In other societies, you see the same thing in "beautiful youths" in other cultures, males that lack resources and real "power" yet in society.
Since women can't compete with men in most cases, they are left with two over-lapping values: their ability to produce more (male, hopefully) children, and recreational sex.
This thread appears to be about one of the more "pure" versions of selling sex: a stripper. Of course she's objectified. You don't go to a stripper bar to watch her do child-care or see her do dishes. If she's ugly, you aren't going to pay, unless the club is outside of a Navy base. Her value is AS an object.
These women go for the "short game", however. No sane man marries a stripper, so she's doomed to make money but lack any sort of stable man in her life until she gives it up, but "easy" money often makes people lazy.
