objectifications
Treating as objects
Objectifications are instances of treating people as objects rather than as thinking, feeling beings.
The term appears most often in discussions of how media or culture reduce women to their physical appearance: The objectifications in advertising are relentless.
More broadly, any reduction of a person to a single attribute—their usefulness, their body, their labor—counts as objectification.
