Joe Manganiello: There’s No Such Thing as Male Objectification

Joe Manganiello shows off his buff arms while shopping at the John Varvatos store on Thursday afternoon (June 12) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 37-year-old True Blood actor was joined by his co-star Kristin Bauer the day before while taping an appearance on Extra.

Joe recently chatted with Buzzfeed about how male stripping is a product of feminism.

“I don’t think there’s any such thing as male objectification,” Joe said when asked about his own voyeur-inviting nudity. “I think that word exists only with women because there are societal pressures for them to behave a certain way and to look a certain way. Someone put it to me once: Women are sex objects and men are success objects. That was really interesting to me.”

Later that day, Joe hit up the Nintendo booth to play Hyrule Warriors on Wii U at E3.
