There is no point aspiring to something that is inherently a fantasy.

First off, I'd like to welcome you to the forum. Second, I'd like to thank you for emphasizing the surrealistic side of this fetish as a means of comforting real women.
As for my points of view on the question, consider this:
If Women were the dominating gender as opposed to women, would they be somewhere on a similar forum, in the "Penis Extension" section, wondering "Is PE sexist?", or "Is PE objectifying towards men?" or whatever the question of morality may be.
The point is, as long as there are two genders, one of which with a more dominating feel over the other, the question will rise, but even if the roles were swapped, again, it would still rise at one point, to which we should probably respond, "If Breast Expansion/Penis Extension is objectifying, or demeaning, to the opposite gender, then shouldn't the other be objectifying or demeaning to my gender?"
I believe the objectification of women is NOT something caused by BE, but caused by the dominance of a particular gender in this world. Why? Because I'm sure that if we were all a bunch of dickgirls we wouldn't be having this conversation.
