Why, when talking about procreation, the man's role is simply to "insure his genes survive" and the woman's is to be an object? Why isn't her role the EXACT same as the man's? To Insure HER genes survive?

A woman should never be seen as an object. A beautiful (even nasty) woman that you'd like to have sex with? Sure. But an object? That's your problem. Women are not objects, period, regardless of their body covering.

Without getting into the equality debate here deeply, the topic is not about genes survival of either party.
The topic is eluding to what men seem to be left with today and why they view women more as sex objects, than partners.

Today women don't need men for the hunting and gathering anymore, and they don’t need men to protect them. Women have excelled in the work and business arena granting them the ability to get their food by shopping. This new mode of living has also given women the power to purchase/rent a home or apartment (ie: Shelter).
Protection isn't needed anymore because laws, courts, and law enforcement officers there to enforce territory protections and punishment.

Now, why can't men do the same?

If we're all individuals and not connected, then yes we probably will start looking at each other as objects even without any over arching theories of divorce law or the loss of the male's alleged place in society, no?

As long as women pander to men's tastes they will continue to be objectified.
If you feel the need to show leg and cleavage, wear ten pounds of makeup, and starve yourselves to wear skimpy clothing you will be viewed as a thing and not a person.
