What will it take for objectification of women to cease? How far have we moved?

It strikes me that the #metoo movement is burgeoning; the Miss America beauty pageant is eliminating its swimsuit competition (so that we won't know its a beauty pageant).  Yet the products to the right and below publicly hawked in Venice Beach, are still somehow considered acceptable.  


Slavery is about the most basic evil we can agree on in this society yet it is okay for us to wear panties saying "John's Property" or "Mike's Bitch"?

What will it take for objectification and claims of ownership of women to not just be socially unacceptable but to disappear?



How does it get any better than this?  What else is possible?
