I see 2 distinct definitions here, one being that there are men who see women as objects, a misogynistic view. The other that objectification is the evolutionary trigger for mating, or mate selection.

I think you're confusing involuntary attraction with voluntary objectification. It's perfectly reasonable to be stimulated by attractive women in person, on film, etc. I think where the line starts to blur is when you start digging up pictures of these women specifically so other dudes can be stimulated. At that point the woman stops being someone you're attracted to and becomes an object, who really only serves one purpose.
By the way, I never thought I'd see you tread so closely to an appeal to nature
