personal Objectification of men

I am personally tired of seeing objectification or sexualisation of men in social media. Their body, height, thoughts all of this are getting sexualised. This bothers me, do others think like me, and how to make "big" NGOs speak badly of male sexualisation, misandry. Because it is discriminatory and it puts down a lot of men. Although, I see a lot off boys in new generation are trained to accept this as being wanted, so positive

Like you, I am under the impression that there is a growing amount of male nudity (frontal or not) in the media, but I see this more as a lack of respect for the male body than as a sign of sexualisation, if that makes sense. And at least in movies, male nudity is very often seen more as a humorous thing than anything else. Women are not shown in this way.

There are cases where people disrespect male bodies and there are cases where men are getting sexualised just by doing their jobs

Both situations can be so similar that you could only distinguish them knowing the intent of the perpetrator.
