Would love to know how much grant money was spent on this!
And people wonder why we are falling behind the rest of the world?

it's a byproduct of human evolution Yawn. There is no "byproduct of evolution". God just programmed our (meaning men's) system firmware differently.

Of course, if women don’t like for men to objectify them when they dress scantily, there’s a way to eliminate that problem....

New research shows that, in men, the brain areas associated with handling tools and the intention to perform actions light up when viewing images of women in bikinis......
The obvious stated except for the likes of Bawney Fwank!

These articles about men really crack me up.
Elizabeth Landau needs to do a little research.
I suggest she go out to the local dance clubs. Take note of how women select men. Here’s a hint lady, it’s not based on inner beauty, let me tell you.
Both sexes objectify members of the opposite sex.
Imagine that...

Again, as has been said repeatedly,
men see PHOTOGRAPHS of bikini women as objects.

The real question to ponder is why do women wear bikinis?

I was breast-fed, so I tend to view their objects as objects.

How about the results of the study where women see men with money as objects.

Just a comment on your tagline -
the left legislates morality all the time by forcing the rest of us to pay for the consequences of immoral behavior, thus making the immoral consequenceless and more likely to be chosen.

I just read the entire story and everything in it is either mortifyingly obvious or mind-numbingly stupid.
Except for this:
Taken together, the research suggests that viewing certain images is not appropriate in the workplace, Fiske said.
