A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I dont think men have been conditioned to find women hot any more than the magpie in the next tree finding her partner hot.
Its biology. People living in the middle of the jungle are attracted to women. They dont have any conditioned behavior at all except they want to sleep with them.
Hot people will always be objectified. But you can make the media say its not correct to think about them that way, so people dont express their true opinions, so it seems that the objectification is gone now. :) Its all for show man.
I wasn't saying we are conditioned to find women sexy. I'm saying we have been conditioned to treat women as sex objects and not sexy people. There is a big difference.
The clue is in the name. Objectification is when you treat someone like a thing to be desired, and not like a whole human being with thoughts and desires of their own. When you act like getting you aroused is their sole purpose and/or the only value they possess.
It's a learned behavior like racism or misogyny. And no, It won't always happen, not once we evolve enough emotionally as a species to treat all human beings with love and respect.
You are right, I didnt really understand. I have never treated any woman as a pure object like that. How would that even work...
I'm not a biologist, but i presume you're very wrong
I didnt really think about what objectified meant... I havent ever thought of a woman like that so its hard to imagine.
