practice but to wait until they are older and can choose whether they would like to engage in the cultural
practice

How did men viewing commercials where women were sexually objectified affect their sexist
behavior/sexist stereotypes? - Stereotypes prime sexist behavior:
Men watched commercials where women were sexually objectified or where they were not
Men who saw them objectified more likely to recognize negative female stereotype words (bimbo)
When asked to interview female applicants for a job, those same men rated the women as less
competent and remembered less about her resume and more about her appearance
Seeing women constantly objectified leads people to distort HOW they see women and how they
BEHAVE towards women

their bodies

these increased percentages
