You raise a good point, mon frere. There's plenty of sexualized objectification going on from both sides of the gender fence. The significant difference, though, is that since men are the dominant gender, male desires are normalized and even legitimized in mainstream culture and female desires are treated as shameful and wicked. Hopefully, what we'll see in due time is backlash from both ends of the gender spectrum, women and men uniting to bring about a new age of mutual respect for each other's humanity while hopefully maintaining healthy ideas of sexual attraction and congress.
