There is no definition of either objectification or sexual objectification which says that the person being objectified has to be specifically shown to be less powerful or submissive.
It's the presentation of someone as a sexual object with no regard to the personality or other values of a person. When a persons body parts are singled out and separated from their personality and presented as primarily an object of sexual desire.
There are countless adverts like the ones I've shown you where the man is clearly there for no other reason than for his body to be used for the women to stare at for the purpose of the advertisement.
As i said the people in the advertisements don't even have lines to say in the diet coke advert the climbax of the piece isn't the close up of the mans facial expressions, it's him taking his top off and showing abdomen muscles.
The mans personality isn't being used to sell the product, his skills aren't, it's the mans abdomen muscles.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
