HD I think "objectification" is just part of the issue. What seems to be missing is your wifes "subjectification"
I think alot of women don't understand "objectification" because they don't experience it themselves. Many, many women simply don't appreciate male bodies. I mean, they might appreciate the fact that their H looks handsome in a suit but they don't have that lioness/monkey urge to bite his bicep or grab his *ss or see his c*ck transcend the horizontal plane. (Clearly you guys just need to kick me off the BB and not let me come back until I manage to get laid.)
