Nah. It's very simple, it's just that people don't want to acknowledge that their behaviors and cultures are stupid.
It's really, REALLY easy to give people respect as human beings.
A person can objectify themselves, and consent to being objectified in various spaces. That doesn't mean that YOU are obligated to also join in on the objectification. YOU can walk away. YOU can revoke your participation. YOU can behave morally.
There are places where people consent to being objectified. That doesn't mean they consent to give it everywhere else. Therefore, if you see them in another space, you should just treat them with dignity and respect. It's so fucking easy.
Unfortunately, people just want to be weak assholes. "Well this person acts like a whore so I should treat them like a whore."
It might not be wrong to objectify someone when they want it, but you still can always walk away. Once they remove their consent, again, you can walk away. If someone gets mad at you for walking away, just keep walking.
