Using attractive women in advertising isn't 'reducing them to mere objects'. It's regrettable the way it's sometimes done, but if that's all you're seeing, you're just zeroing in on one facet of interest to you. Women's bodies being viewed as 'mere objects' isn't confined to the West, nor is the sole paradigm within the West.

Women have it hammered into their feeble minds from an early age that they can only get attention and [pseudo]respect if they bare some skin and pop some cleavage. And so throughout their lives they're just continually conditioned to think that skin-tight dresses, see-through clothing or strategic cleavage is the only way they'll get what they want.
Kinda reminds me of the behavior of insects and birds, how they'll hit a glass window thinking they can pass through but they don't get it. Same with these women, they just don't see the glass ceiling and keep smacking into it over and over again.
