NSFW objectification

It seems to me that there is a distinct difference between the shorthand we use to manage our worlds and objectification. Describing someone by their most identifiable feature can be very useful, as in the instances given by Sundae and Casi. It is when that feature is used to apply a set of other characteristics which are unrelated (frequently to do with intelligence, behaviour, or other non-physical characteristics) that it becomes "objectification".
