What is objectification and is it okay when it's towards men?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Sunday night television is grabbing headlines with the way that men are portrayed on screen. The latest example has been around the bare bottom in the BBC1 drama, Bodyguard. But is this objectifying men in the same way that women have been objectified in the past, and are women being hypocritical if they enjoy watching naked or half-naked men on screen? Actors Danny Mac and Matthew Chambers give their views, along with Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at University of Central Lancashire, Dr Peter Lucas.
