Men who view pictures of scantily clad damsels experience similar brain activity to when they are using tools, research suggests.
Shown pictures of such ladies, brain scans apparently illustrated the same parts of the brain associated with tool use became active, whilst those associated with social cognition were less active.
Princeton Professor Susan Fiske claims:
“The only other time we have seen this is when people look at pictures of the homeless or of drug addicts because they really don’t want to think about what is going on in their minds.”
It was also found that men tended to remember such images better than they did when dealing with fully clothed females.
She insinuates that the effect could lead men to “sexualise” their colleagues at work, should their bestial eyes alight upon such a depraved image. She denies being anti-porn all the same:
“I am not saying there should be censorship but people need to know of the associations people have in their minds.”
Presenting her research, she claimed that such gravure makes men think of women as “less than human”.
They did not bother to test the brain activity of women as well; however, she did concede when asked that women, instead of physical attractiveness, considered such reasonable factors as age and bank balance.

Professor Susan Fiske lists her research interests as “stereotyping” and “discrimination”, which when combined with studies into “the objectification of women”, “ambivalent sexism” and “dehumanisation”, may suggest the results of her inquiry were a foregone conclusion…

So does women rights and presence in media and business
Coincidence?
Women are tools, the moment you treat them as equals is the moment they begin to disrespect you.
The whole objectification thing is confusing, including this study.
I mean, I think most people grab for straws on the subject. Maybe people just naturally separate themselves from other kinds of thoughts and feelings when they are sexually aroused? They probably also think of their penis as a tool. Even if it’s a part of them, they are essentially viewing themselves as a tool for the sexual gratification of their mind. Or something, God this is confusing.
And if looking at material for the purpose of sexual arousal, there is no need to think about non-sexual things which are a pointless distraction really. Sexuality is just a feeling, it doesn’t matter that there’s a person behind it and it’s not dehumanizing. If a person masturbates to me and that “tool” part of the brain enacts, it doesn’t mean they’re dehumanizing me, it means they’re just not doing pointless things while enjoying looking at me for aesthetic/sexual purpose. And it’s something that naturally happens anyway because as excitement increases, the brain is essentially like in the states where one is drunk or angry, it only focuses on limited things and allocation is simple tasked.
No is going “oh, OH Ukonkivi, you’re SO smart. Do that math equation, oh yes!”
You know, unless you have a very unusual fetish.
And judging a man by their money is just as superficial as judging them by their looks, is it not? We are not our wallets. And worse yet, it’s not for some small thing like sexual gratification, when you use it as a major selecting tool in a partner, it’s like a kind of exploitation. We’re not men or individuals if you judge us by our checkbook, we’re nothing but a wad of cash.
