In these days post objectivisation are modelling jobs sexually abusive?

These days individuals and groups like Me Too, and ultra feminist groups, react to the objectification of women. So are we right to figure that women modelling be it in dresses, or lingerie, continues the scourge of objectivisation? After all, men can buy Vogue magazine too! Or is there a point we can say objectivisation stops?

Isn't this an issue for all humans, including men and children who work as models, as opposed to just women? Although, taken to an extreme, is it objectifying someone to have them demonstrate a product, or be a teacher, or even a parent? I know that sounds strange but, ultimately, what do we actually want the world to look like?

@GlassDog
Women's bodies are used to advertise almost everything now! There are even adverts showing women having oops moments, when incontinence affects men equally! It's that weaker vessel bs again!

@Tsamis Yeah, it's true, and it does seem to be that we push ever further in dehumanising humans and turning them into drones to perform units of work, without considering their rights (either as women, or as people). I completely agree with what lovelywarpedlemon said and I should probably just have hearted her answer, rather than start one of my own.
