Asshatery (oh and spoilers for Kingsmen Golden Circle)
Apparently the director of the newest Kingsmen movie, Matthew Vaughn, is an asshat and decided it would be cool to show the main character digitally implanting a device in a woman's vagina. And by "digitally" I don't mean with a computer.

I considered seeing this tomorrow, but now I'll pass.
I guess I typically don't think very hard while viewing movies, because when I read the description of an egregious scene in the first Kingsmen movie, which I enjoyed as a whole and understood to be more or less a send-up of the Bond movies, my response is, "Well, that was unnecessary," but at the time while viewing the movie, I gave it a pass and probably thought it was funny or maybe even took it as the director intended. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/sex-joke-ruined-ending-kingsman-secret-service/ Behind a pay wall, unless you register, but you can register for free
Perhaps that is also decades of male conditioning - that women are often objects for male pleasure or, as the article states, a prize for a man's achievements, that's just how it is, so have another.
I guess I need to be a better "bloody feminist."
