Answer:

Instrumentality

Explanation:

Martha Nussbaum is a political philosopher who has written on the subject of feminism. One of the topics that Nussbaum has dealt with is that of objectification. Objectification is central to feminist theory. It is composed of seven elements: instrumentality, denial of autonomy, inertness, fungibility, violability, ownership and denial of subjectivity. Nussbaum argues that instrumentality is the most morally suspect of the seven. Instrumentality refers to the treatment of a person as a tool for the objectifier's purposes.
