GAZA SIGN ALL DI WAY A DI OLYMPICS?

Our brains process images of men and women very differently —a team of researchers have revealed, saying that this could help explain why women are often the subject of sexual objectification.

When observing an object, our brains either perceive it in its entirety or as ‘a collection of its parts’.

Researchers conducted a series of experiments in which participants were presented with images of men and women.

The experiment showed that people when viewing images of men tended to rely more on ‘global cognitive processing’, the mental method in which a person is perceived as a whole.
In the case of images of women, participants rely on objectifying perception of something as an assemblage of its various parts termed ‘local cognitive processing’.

The study is the first to link such cognitive processes to objectification theory, said Sarah Gervais, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the study’s lead author.

“Local processing underlies the way we think about objects: houses, cars and so on,” she said.
“But global processing should prevent us from that when it comes to people.

“We don’t break people down to their parts – except when it comes to women, which is really striking. Women were perceived in the same ways that objects are viewed.”

In the study, participants were randomly presented with dozens of images of fully clothed, average-looking men and women.

Each person was shown from head to knee, standing, with eyes focused on the camera.
After a brief pause, participants then saw two new images on their screen: One was unmodified and contained the original image, while the other was a slightly modified version of the original image that comprised a sexual body part.

Participants then quickly indicated which of the two images they had previously seen.
The results were consistent: Women’s sexual body parts were more easily recognized when presented in isolation than when they were presented in the context of their entire bodies.
But men’s sexual body parts were recognized better when presented in the context of their entire bodies than they were in isolation.

“We always hear that women are reduced to their sexual body parts; you hear about examples in the media all the time.

“This research takes it a step further and finds that this perception spills over to everyday women, too,”Gervais said.

‘The subjects in the study’s images were everyday, ordinary men and women … the fact that people are looking at ordinary men and women and remembering women’s body parts better than their entire bodies was very interesting.’

The team also found both men and women have the same issue, and that regardless of their gender, perceivers saw men more ‘globally’ and women more ‘locally’.

“We can’t just pin this on the men,” said Gervais.

“Women are perceiving women this way, too,” Gervais said.

“It could be related to different motives.

“Men might be doing it because they’re interested in potential mates, while women may do it as more of a comparison with themselves.

“But what we do know is that they’re both doing it.”

The team now hopes to work on a method to lessen the differences, which they hope could help limit the objectification of women.

“Based on these findings, there are several new avenues to explore,” said Gervais.

There was free live drama in Insuza recently when a 44-year-old man ran naked after being allegedly caught trying to rape his 5-year-old niece.

The man (name supplied), who resides in Maryland Village under Chief Deli took to his heels, running away from another man who had caught him trying to negotiate his sexual anaconda into the little girl’s privates.

On 5 June, the uncle, after being accompanied by his niece to a grinding mill, supposedly decided to then grind his niece’s sexual meal too at the expense of the little girl’s future husband. Little did the uncle know that one of the villagers was keeping a close eye on all his moves. When the uncle-cum-rapist arrived at the grinding mill, he reportedly left the wheelbarrow that was carrying his grain at the mill and instructed his niece to follow him to a nearby bush, where the duo was to have some ‘refreshments’.

One villager became suspicious, and followed the two from a distant. Upon reaching the heart of the bush, the sexually starved man sat down and ordered her niece to sit of his legs before he started fondling her private parts. He allegedly ordered the girl to remove her clothes and panties after which her made her lie facing upwards.

Without wasting much time, the uncle then removed his trousers while the little girl was watching helplessly and went on top of her. Before he could successfully insert his joystick into the girl’s immature ‘honey jar’, the villager who was closely monitoring the saga drew closer to the scene intending to apprehend the uncle.

Before he arrived, the uncle took to his heels, grabbed his dangling weapon and ran as fast as his legs could allow. He was later apprehended by other villagers who then took him to the police station. He then appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Mr Shepherd Munjanja facing attempted rape charges. Mr Malvern Nzombe appeared for the State.
