As Saguy explains, “When a woman believes that a man is focusing on her body, she narrows her presence… by spending less time talking.” There are a few possible reasons for this. Saguy suspects that objectification prompts women to align their behaviour with what’s expected of them – silent things devoid of other interesting traits. Treat someone like an object, and they’ll behave like one. Alternatively, worries about their appearance might simply distract them from the task at hand.

This School in England Is the Worst School Ever
During a fire drill at a middle school in Worcester, England, students aged 10 to 13 looked on in horror as “as a man appeared brandishing a gun and appeared to shoot dead Mr. Kent, their science teacher, as he ran across a field.” It was only ten minutes after the shooting that teachers revealed the whole thing to be fake. The exercise was apparently “intended to teach Year 8 pupils how to investigate, collect facts and analyse evidence.” They couldn’t have just pretended to lose the class rabbit, or something?

It’s almost too big! New GPU in non-i7 machine, that’s-what-she-said edition
Behold, GTX 260 in my current system. Was almost a struggle to get it in, and as it is the edge of the graphics card is pushing some cables out of the way…
It fits, but only just. Getting it out won’t be nearly as fun as putting it in (and yes, that’s what she said). -
