To treat/view a living being object, deprived of individuality, personality and will, not quite equal to you but as something to exist to satisfy your needs. To objectify is pretty much the core of all sexism (and racism, slavery, classism etc.)
People often confuse objetification with sexual attraction because they are portrayed as the same thing in our culture, but that's a misconception. These things are not mutually exclusive.
