There are legitimate contexts for doing so. The naked woman is much more likely to be in such a context than the woman in the burka.
I guess it depends on semantics and what exactly you mean by treating someone as a sex object. The way I see it, if you treat someone as though they were an object rather than as a person, you are, by definition, treating them as lesser.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
