Why is it Women can say whatever they want about Men but it cant be taken lightly the other way round?
Sure in Japan there may be some voyeuristic pleasure taken from Women but thats because it sells as it does everywhere else. You're telling me that this doesn't happen in other countries too?
Even so, the same works for Males. They are portrayed as something that women might find attractive in cliched roles that require them to be popular.
Anyway, in Anime there are many examples of female roles that don't portray women in a sexist light. Miyazaki almost always uses female roles too and in quite a non-sexist fashion.
What is so patriarchal about Princess Mononoke or Chihiro?
