It's also interesting to note that, when we objectify others, we tend to forget that we ourselves are human.
There is an unspoken assumption that we are 'other than', better than those we objectify. As with all forms prejudice, this speaks volumes about those who practice it.
Perhaps a way of dealing with this could be finding out why those who objectify others find it necessary to do so and what it is that they are afraid of - if they could be persuaded to speak, that is.
