Sure, it could be objectification. It's pretty cut and dried in this case since the image was scanned from a magazine almost at random. The woman had no agency in the decision at all.
Of course I'm going to attack that. Women are required to be beautiful or they are deemed worthless, or failures. So they put a lot of work into it from a fear of failure. Men can be beautiful too, especially to a woman's eye which you've never seen through. If men were made to worry about their appearance as much as women, we'd be "fair" too.
There are predominant gender roles. How can we determine if the predominance is wrong, or just natural? All of this assumes the predominance is wrong. If I go to enjoy a burlesque show (a largely female-dominated event that all consensually participate in), did I merely experience the predominance, or did I also reinforce it? If the majority like something even though a minority do not, does that mean the majority are somehow wrong?
