Seems to me that the above quoted post is simply, lightheartedly (my interpretation) illustrating one example of men being objectified. Certainly, it does not imply that one instance negates the history spanning objectification of women.
Actually, it used to be art to objectify women (and men) -- statues of the ideal form, paintings, poetry and whatnot. Now it is offensive.
It used to be polite to hold a door open for an approaching female. Now that's offensive too.
Compliments are offensive.
We are an offended people, but as some have stated, I guess its just growing pains. If no one got offended, nothing would ever change.
