Fleshlight vs. Dildo
Both objectify.
Both pleasure.

vs. Vibrator
Doesn't necessarily objectify.
Always pleasures.

Fleshlight is a terribly tacky name which in itself is a bit off-putting. Fleshlight is a name brand rather than a descriptor for a specific range of pleasure products. It attempts to look like a harmless flashlight - it hides its true purpose. You could say that it is ashamed of itself. Fleshlights are designed with men in mind - I suppose a woman could enjoy a fleshlight, but I haven't met a woman who does.

Dildo sounds like a kid's toy, which is a bit disconcerting. Dildos are not necessarily in the shape of a penis, but they are usually out in the open - screaming I'm a dildo! Dildos are not always gender-specific. Both men and women can enjoy dildos.

Vibrator sounds like a tool. Both men and women can enjoy vibrators.

Misandry, maybe. But I contest you're attempting to compare apples and oranges (and I threw in strawberries), and that's why you're coming up short.
