It's another difficult thing...I think men in general don't feel unsafe or like they are only valued for their looks/literal body only when people place focus on their looks or objectify them. Male public figures usually don't get objectified as their main selling point or their "claim to fame", it's usually something that comes along when they choose to start displaying a more sexual side to their public personality...like, I think for the most part male celebs/public figures can feel like they can control the "sexual/objectified" side of their fame/image to the point that it doesn't disrupt/sidetrack from their career or that it's not going to be the main/only selling point to their image. Whereas with women and female public figures, it can often be the only thing that people will focus on. There's more hostility too when women express discomfort at being objectified or to even wholly embrace it. Like, with women, I think there is a lot more thought that needs to go into the "sexual" image when it comes to female public figures/celebs because the control of that image is so delicate and way easier to be taken away by the celeb than their male counterparts.

Not to say that men should just accept being objectified and laugh it off it makes them feel uncomfortable!! Of course, there are male public figures who have been objectified and it was obvious it was the fans/media/public that drove the "sexy" narrative more than the male celeb and those situations are not OK either.
Because it's so easy to exploit others, especially when it comes to the more sexual/primal stuff, I think we have to be mindful of how the person who is being objectified feels and that they consented to it (like if a male celeb thought they could handle reading the thirst tweets but decided they didn't want to anymore I would hope Buzzfeed wouldn't use any material filmed without that celeb's consent).

I think this is quite well put and sums up many of my own less articulate thoughts on the subject.
