>Tits, hair, ass, and shoes. Women are the most self conscious about those four things.
Shoes..? Wtf mate? That must be some weird leftover from the time when a woman's ankles were more of a sexual bodypart than her boobs.
The way human relationships in general are, vary from time to time as well as culture. But indeed were and still are women frequently seen as living objects.
Though I fail to see how I should be excessively thankful over that females are not an object in the society I live in when the society I live in is not supposed to be identical to the one in the past. The society as it is now only builds on the past, it is not the one from back then. Are you actively grateful for that you're not seen as an object by most humans? I live in the present time, not hundreds of years ago. Are you actively grateful for that you don't suffer from famine, when such a thing was yet another of the daily problems in the past?
And hippie femnazis and girlpower people are just as creepy as hippie malenazis and manpower type of people, you know.
And as for the complimenting on a woman for her breasts, yes, just dropping that line somewhere along the line isn't a bad thing, however, there are many people who just walk up to someone and go "Nice tits!" and then spend the rest of the time staring at them, which is why it gets annoying in such situations. Complimenting them on their boobs on amongst other things isn't bad nor reduces females to fuckdoll. However excessively being fixated on their breasts at the expense of paying attention to most other things does that. Sadly enough, that happens more than seldomly. Fortunately rarely enough where I spend most of my times at.
Technically, breasts aren't ment to be attractive, though. Not any more than most other body parts. Breasts are first and foremost ment to be a way to feed potential children. Hips usually are a better sign of one's ability to pop out offspring healthy offspring. Small breast can feed children as well as larger such, though a rounded, fat boob is a leftover from the ideal of women that are well fed and can keep their young'uns well fed as well. I'm assuming the same applies to a big butt in the combo with the hip thing.
Culture dictates what's seen as sexually attractive, most of the time. It's rather fun to read about what used to be (and still are at some places) seen as the sexual features in different cultures and times. Now, I have nothing against boobs as also sexually attractive features. Boobs are nice and cosy.
However, a lot of things are relative to a situation, and that includes whether or not it's okay to compliment someone on their breasts.
Compare to for instance killing someone, or giving someone a cake with ground hazelnut inside the cake. Killing someone just for fun is generally seen as a bad thing, while as killing someone in self defence is usually seen as while as not good, often is seen as more preferable than to be killed like a paralyzed lamb for the taking. And giving someone who loves hazelnut such a cake tends to be quite a good thing, but giving a cake with hazelnut to someone you directly know is allergic to nuts is usually not. My examples are a bit.. extreme? But I hope it gets the idea across efficiently without muddling it.
