“…Women and girls who appear “sexy” (i.e., make self-sexualized presentations) are judged as less attractive, less intelligent, socially appealing, moral, and less human (i.e., as an object) by both men and women (Daniels, 2016; Graff et al, 2012, Heflick et al, 2011; Smith et al, 2018; Starr & Zurbriggen, 2019). Women who are depicted as sexy are also attributed blame in instances of sexual harassment or assault (e.g., Jang & Lee, 2013; Johnson et al, 2016). In addition, women who indicate they enjoy sexualization experience objectification by their partners and low relationship satisfaction (Ramsey et al, 2017).…”
