Dont even have to watch these videos, just look at the comments on them ( I recommend using ad block to not give these people any ad revenue profits, even if its a few cents): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlwnlb72rLo

And the thing that pisses me off is that anime is actually such a diverse medium, that there are literally mountainloads of anime that dont sexualize women. There is literally genres like shoujo and manhwa geared towards female audiences, and yet these people go into shounen (a genre meant for teenage boys), and the complain that the women are sexualized.

And when you point out that there are genres that gear towards women as well, its still not enough for them.

That's absolutely a huge part of it. The other part is actual androphobia. Both are rooted in how most women are failed women, which is its own topic. Failed women have a particular neurosis where they're both upset when a man (even a hypothetical man) doesn't find her attractive all the time, and also so deathly afraid of male sexuality that they don't want to see sexually provocative imagery displayed anywhere,
You've already mentioned the catcalling thing. That may have been a joke in a TV show, but it's a legitimate thing with women. Another good example are the western fujoshi - they desire male sexuality strongly enough that they're practically defined by their obsession with it, but also so afraid and disgusted by it being directed towards a woman that they can only play with it in the "safe" environment of gay porn.
