your conclusive jump is a logical fallacy. firstly, i acknowledged already that objectification isn't okay.

however, there are societal implications behind objectification that differ between the two primary genders - things like who has institutional privilege, for instance, which does in fact matter in issues like this because it influences/changes how objectification affects men and how it affects women. again, the consequences of objectifying men are few, whereas they increase when you objectify women.

objectification is a pretty gross thing, but it's also a common thing, and i think it's inevitable that it happens every now and then. keeping it rare is a good way to minimise its harm. but the harm in objectifying men is already low, and objectifying women just reinforces harmful societal norms that keep women below men, on average.

as for your second part: sometimes hurt feelings are also inevitable, especially if the people you are "hurting" are giant pissbabies about the issue. you can't coddle everybody. in any case, hurt feelings do not stand up to systematic, continuous, harmful oppression.
