I feel let down that that was not an Onion article

Sexy women in bikinis really do inspire some men to see them as objects, according to a new study of male behavior.

Sexy women being the operative term here.

A chubby girl in a bikini still makes the salami go south.

ermmmm.... I think you're totally missing the point. What's interesting to me is that naked (or mostly naked in this case) women lit up the same part of the brain as "tool use" does.

Kind of like I always say that boning a hot woman is like driving a Ferrari at 150mph. Interesting stuff... seems to say that the objectification of women is hard-wired into the male brain.

no I didn't miss the point I was pointing out the irrelevance of bikinis in this context.

Bikini has nothing to do with the objectification. On the other hand, if you are to discover the fact that we see women as objects; you really need to get bikinis out of the picture - say, with a control group of naked women.

Ugly women are revolting. Ugly men are just ugly. Really, an ugly woman forces me to look away and shudder. I actually get mad at how ugly some women are.

Oh come on. Women only wear bikinis because it's too warm outside to wear regular clothing. What other reason could there be?
