A fictional policewoman wearing short shorts or a tube top to a combat situation, however, is a fictional character. They are designed,and that sort of design is to objectify their sexual characteristics.
Presuming the motives or self-image of real human beings and pretending fictional people have real motivations or are naturally formed are both nonfunctional and kind of sad. But, then, so is confusing sexuality, sexy, sex,objectification, and sexism.
Sexualization does not equate to sexism. Acknowledging the existence of sexuality is not the same as sexually objectifying. Fictional people are wholly manufactured, always.
