“Even a simple compliment like “I love your shoes,” at least when addressed to a woman in leadership during a Q&A after a speech, really means “I notice how you look and dress more than I value your intellectual contributions. How you look is really important.””
So would the correct way to say it be, “I liked your speech, how about we go and get a drink together”?
Just to clarify, “I love your shoes” is only a microagression when the speaker is a cisgenger male addressing a cisgender female.
If a gay guy or a tranny says “I love your shoes” you are required to feel fabulous.
