This was certainly the thought I had when the discussion turned to questions of biology. In a world where the gods can create races whole-cloth, and even wizards can create new life forms, boobs on non-mammals is certainly plausible.
In my experience, the issue here is less that women are offended by breasts on female humanoids than it is that men think/are worried that they'll be offended by breasts on female humanoids. That isn't to say that there aren't women who are upset by them, but most of the gamer girls I know don't care about it very much.
Zak Sabbath makes this point quite well on this post on his blog.

This almost destroyed the internet when the first 4e art was previewed lo these short years ago. I was there and I count myself scarred.
In retrospect, I believe those battles were merely proxies for the larger edition war---but one which allowed slams against 4e to sail under the overburdened radars of that eras weary mods.
The *moment* I saw the 5e announcement, I kick myself for not laying Vegas odds on the very subject being brought up anew.

ok I did a completly no scientfic poll, and here are the ressults"
My mom thinks I am crazy and doesn't understand the stupid game I and my brother in law play
My sister and her best friend think me and my brother in law are nuts, but they guess they would not play a game that made them not look like what they thought woman should look like.
of the 5 real gamers I know that are girls 4 of them said it would matter, 1 said she would not care as long as everyone at the table knew both in and out of game she was a girl (no dumb jokes not even in game).
of the 4 that said it would matter 1 said it mattered only a little and she could get over it if the rest of the system/story was good. 2 of them said it was a big deal but not by itself a deal breaker, but a strong reason not to play the game. Only 1 of them said she would never play in a game that told her she had to look non feminin.
alll in all the #1 most common responce was that it was a crazy quastion... even from people who thought it mattered...
so take that for what it is worth...

I dunno about everyone else but I was making a point /not/ to mention furries

Did you mention to the women that not all the races would look "unfeminine", just the ones where the animals they started with look "unfeminine" themselves?
Ie: If you wand a-x cup boobs there are always the classic races and all of their subraces.
