Sexual Objectification

A term used to control (through policing, via shaming) men's expressions of sexual desire. There is a stated justification ("you are treating this person solely as a sexual object") that can be embellished ("you think this person is only meant for your pleasure") neither of which need to be true, and that requires no substantiation, for the shaming to be applied -- the only true requirement is a man's expression of sexual desire.

♂: "OK, -- but just to be clear -- I do desire to have a sexual relationship with you."
♀: "Ugh! That's sexual objectification! I hate it when men sexually objectify me!!"
