To feminists, a sex object is any female character who is even slightly sexually appealing to men. You can have a female character who is smart and strong, but if she has one boob shot, she is a sex object for men. Anything meant to make men like sexy women in media is evil to them and they even admit it.
Objects of affection, objects of adoration, objects of admiration, objects of worship...
Saying "objects" is WAY too ambiguous.
