The media, Hollywood, the fashion industry, cosmetic companies, etc. really like to make it look like women are obsessed with being sexy. They foster insecurity by creating unrealistic ideals of feminine beauty and sexualize women in movies and television and advertising, pretty much everywhere you see a woman in a picture or video trying to sell something. A lot of women feed into this and become insecure because they've been indoctrinated into that insecurity. Most people do like to feel attractive, but this isn't at all about that. It's about men violating women's personal boundaries and feeling entitled to do so and it's about women claiming their autonomy and standing up to misogyny. It has nothing to do with sex, whatsoever. And yes, it's extremely asshole-ish.
So your saying it's not the fault of women for buying into that sexualization. Your saying women can't just decide to stop. I think you think to little of women's ability.
Lets not blame it on media, women sexualized themselves just fine by themselves. You can't expect respect without expecting to be held responsible for your own choices.
Lets not get into the whole issue of unrealistic feminine figures because most of the time they very much are realistic, especially in media, theyre just bodies not everyone can obtain or simply don't put the work in to obtain, which is their choice but it doesn't change that the bodies used in movies are obtainable.
It also isn't exclusive to women. Just look at all the romance novels which women are the primary consumers of, they have extremely sexualized men, aswell as using a man's wealth as a "sexiness" factor.
Seriously Guys..

It is about sex. Sexualization is about sex. It's in the word.
