i think in any debate about sexual objectification, people need to define exactly what they mean by that, and why it made out to appear so much worse than other kinds of objectification.

Sexual objectification refers to the practice of regarding or treating another person merely as an instrument (object) towards the person's sexual pleasure.
but when i go about my daily life, i objectify people loads. i treat the bus driver merely as an instrument to get me from A to B without killing me. i treat the doctor as an instrument to improve my health. i treat the teller at a bank no different from an ATM machine. so why are these kinds of objectification accepted whereas sexual objectification is different? and how can any intimate relationship not involve the above description of sexual objectification?
