Reproduction is understood as the maintenance and continuation of existing social relations.
. In that application, it is used to explain the role of women in wider social and class structures, and their (often unrecognized) contribution to the capitalist economy via their (traditional) role within the household as both child-bearers and family caretakers, and by extension women's role as providers of free labor that is necessary to produce and maintain current and future workers.
Men wouldn't obsess over women's breasts if they weren't taught to by society, simple as. Plenty of cultures didn't have this phenomenon, and think that it is weird that people do that.
Women have breasts because some prehistoric dudes decided they were good. It's literally biological. No other animal (or not many) has massive tiddies like humans. They're definitely the result of sexual selection.
Well, again, it is just a hypothesis. Also "happening for long enough" isn't necessarily how it works, for all you know it could have happened during a brief period and remained vestigial, assuming it even happened.
Being attracted to body parts is a fetish. I'm using a neutral definition of fetish, there is not an intended negative connotation. Research shows that the only thing that's like, universally a turn on for people regardless of cultural context is people having sex or masturbating.

TIL sexual selection had nothing to do with social conditions, and cultures that do not fetishize breasts don't exist. /s
Seriously think it through for like one second, christ. Also the sexual selection hypothesis isn't proven lol
If the social conditions have existed for long enough to have an evolutionary effect, what's the difference?
And as another commenter mentioned you don't need to fetishize breasts to be attracted to them.
