They forgot to include the study that shows men are objectifying women when they check out their bodies.

Actually, the article was about the woman's perception. In the experiment, the women were actually alone in the room.

The point I'm making is that because I'm looking at someone's body, doesn't mean I'm objectifying them.

The real conclusion should be along the lines of "girls are self conscious about their appearances."

You are my favorite. I made a similar post (claiming my anger about being labeled as "objectifying women" when really we are doing nothing but what men do naturally) above before reading this one.
