 The importance of “derivatization” notwithstanding, the above reasons do not clinch the case for its replacement of “objectification” because “objectification” need not assume that human beings are non-bodily and autonomous; it can accept them as enmeshed in this world as they are (with varying degrees of autonomy). Moreover, “derivatization” seems not to cover all cases (or all cases well). Consider a closeted gay man who catcalls a woman only to impress his peers. He objectifies her but does not seem derivatize her. If the reply is that he catcalls that particular woman because she represents not his desires but, say, society’s desires of what women should look like, then, given that for any sexual situation one can attribute derivatization to some party or other, “derivatization” stands in danger of being empty or too broad to be explanatory.
