Why are women objectified more than men ? Even by other women ?

Frankly, it's always been a bit of a mystery to me. People create representations of what they like and I have never understood why so many girls and women still pick female form over male one. Even I did when I was a little girl but at the time it was more of symbols than real anatomy, of course. Drawing women was easier and more interesting...perhaps because I had myself as a model and women have been making themselves visually more interesting for ages. Long hair, jewellery, dresses, makeup ..all that stuff. The symbols of men were always very plain and dull in our culture. But if I think solely about anatomy, like nudes...I can't wrap my head around the fact that firstly, so many creative straight women still pick a female form over the male and secondly, generally many straight women claim that they prefer to look at nudes of women over nudes of men. Why on earth?

To be honest, I'm a woman who objectifies men to some degree so I kind of have less problems with men objectifying women. But I still talk about visual aspect of things, the problem with the rights to one's bodily autonomy and reproductive choices is a much more serious topic that has more to do with general abuse of power that affects both men and women. One thing I can't wrap my head around is how can a male circumcision still be a standard procedure in first world countries. Irreversible and without a consent.
