I’m not sure “objectification” is the right term for what authors like Percival Everett do. The sexy women don’t get interiority or a clear sense of their motivations, but at the same time, they get all the decision-making. It’s a mystery what they’re deciding based on, without clear motivations, but they still get to initiate and control the relationships, while the men are portrayed as completely helpless and incapable of choosing not to have sex when offered.
