I hate this talking point.
Grammatically speaking, humans ARE objects. Being treated like an object is being treated like a human.
English is (Subject) <Verb> [Object]:
(I'm) <going to punch> [Jimmy]
In physics, humans are also objects, i.e., something that exists in this universe.
Socially speaking, humans are STILL objects, because they are things that can be acted upon. Hell, women objectify every man they ever come across. Unattractive dudes are relegated to the non-existing category or perhaps to physically use in a working situation, rich dudes are there for you to parasite on, attractive dudes are things for women to collectively drool over (like any social media post about Jason Mamoa, for example), Black men are just "big dikks" to fetishize, etc. List goes on.
Any way you look at this, humans are objects, in theory and in practice.
What women like you don't like is that you have to be subjected to objectification the same way you do literally anyone else. Specifically, women dislike sexual objectification, forgetting that sex is what men want out of women. The reason you don't like it is because the type of objectification you all do to men isn't necessarily sexual, and whenever a man does something different than a woman, you have a problem with it (e.g. men are verbal and literal, women are non-verbal and beat around the bush).
