A person who is rich will probably buy expensive cars, a big house, jeweleries etc.We will never really know the main reason why they buy these expensive things. Could be to show off or simply because they have the money to buy good quality products. Let's face it, most good quality products are indeed EXPENSIVE.
Expensive things are prone to be stolen. Is it your fault if you bought a big house and it was being burglarized? Had you bought a cheap house, the probability of your house being burglarized will be minimal.
Or is it your fault if you were to use an expensive phone or laptop and some idiot stole it? Had you not use an expensive phone or laptop, perhaps no one will be interested to steal.
But yet, regardless whether your things are expensive or not, a cheap house still face the problem of being burglarized and a cheap phone can still be stolen. As long as they are people who have the DESIRE TO STEAL, robbery and burglary will still happen.
We don't blame the owner for buying expensive things and display them for public viewing. It's their choice. Of course they need to take extra precaution to safeguard their expensive items.
So what im really trying to say here is that, a girl who wants to dress sexy, it's her choice. You don't blame her for being sexy and that's why she gets raped. However, perhaps you can blame her stupidity if she puts herself in a dangerous position which caused her to get raped. Like go out with unknown man or with a few man.
There will always be MEN WITH THE DESIRE to RAPE WOMEN. Same goes to the fact that there will always be people who WANT TO STEAL. Regardless whether the person is sexy or not, or the thing is expensive or not, such crimes will still take place. And most of the time, it's not sexy girls who get raped or rich people things get stolen. Why? Because they DON'T MAKE IT EASY for these criminals to rape them or have their things stolen.
P/S : for the rape, im only referring to cases where the women are stupid enough to go out with unknown men or be surrounded by a bunch of men or being too trustworthy to men.

Jobs That Tend to Objectify Women As Sex Symbol
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/5/nation/8835999&sec=nation
Don't tell me there is NO DIFFERENCE when you CHOSE to be sexy and when you are being PAID to be sexy.
The same goes with whether a woman is a HOOKER or not. If she requests to be paid, means she's a hooker. If she doesn't request to be paid, means she's not one but when a woman is open about her sexuality, society will see her as a nymphomaniac. Double standards. It's ok for a man to express his horniness but it's not okay for a woman to do so without being called all kinds of name while a man will only be called a pervert.
Referring to the article above, this "Bunny" bullshit job no doubt objectifies woman.
What is a Playboy Club? Wikipedia.com states "Playboy Club is a chain of nightclubs owned and operated by Playboy Enterprises".
What is a Playboy Bunny? Wikipedia.com states "waitress at the Playboy Club.... Bunnies wore a costume called a "bunny suit" inspired by the tuxedo-wearing Playboy rabbit mascot, consisting of a corset, bunny ears, a collar, cuffs and a fluffy cottontail."
What kind of job objectify women as sex symbols?
1. When you are paid to dress sexy/skanky/slutty to promote a product. I always see these when it comes to cars, where women dress like skanks, giving out car pamphlets. Then you have the Umbrella Girls during the F1 Circuit. Also i have seen girls promoting electronic products where their company "salesgirls clothes" involved short skirts, heavy makeup, tight tops/low cut tops. Why do you need women to dress scantily to promote a product? To attract DESPERATE MEN to buy your product because to rely on the quality of the product alone is not enough? Your product must really SUCK. Some business minded idiot will tell me that it's MARKETING STRATEGY. I guess they don't teach you Business Ethics.
2. Prostitution obviously.
3. Main objective of job scope is ENTERTAINING MEN. Women are born NOT to entertain men. Not to be a "beautiful trophy" next to a man. Why do men need to be entertained? Why do we need to carter to their needs? Entertaining a man in the sense that to go out with him, engage in conversations with him should be done mutually, NOT BY BEING PAID. And women who do such jobs are required to look pretty or sexy. Why, men don't want to be entertained by not so pretty women who can actually strike up a conversation?
3. Any job that requires you to be attractive. Im the kind of person that emphasize on the quality of work that you do, not how pretty or handsome you look. Maybe modelling is an exception to this since the modelling world requires you to be attractive since people will be looking at your pictures but why do you need to be attractive just to sell something? It's your selling skills that counts. Last time when you want to be an air stewardess in Malaysia you need to be pretty, slim and tall. Maybe the height thing u can understand since you need to reach up to the luggage compartment but slim and pretty? Can't a slightly bigger girl be a stewardess? What is the job scope of a stewardess anyway? Looking after the passengers on board. So why do you need to be pretty and slim for that?
Conclusion : Any job that is PAYING you to look beautiful/dress sexy and entertain MEN (by being seductive) is a job that objectify women as sex symbol. The keyword here is BEING PAID.
