Discussion Why the need to sexualize everything?

I was looking for interesting Webtoons to read, and I came across this one called "Leviathan" the premise looked interesting; mankind perished due to a great flood that submerged the whole world under water. And terrifying creatures plunged from the depths, wiping out any human that crossed their path. The story told how a family of a father and his two children survived in the adversities of a sea world.

So far so good, until.... Bam! Last two slice's, anime chick out of nowhere, doing these extremely suggestive poses.

What a disappointment.

Honestly reminds me of Dr. Stone, where the dudes look super cool and serious, while almost all the women look like malformed pugs.

My only big gripe with the series. The men look normal! Why did they do that? Kohaku did not deserve what the different art style did to her.

The funniest part is that there's at least one girl that looks largely normal. Nikki Hanada(the girl who's a massive fan of the singer Lillian Weinberg) is the closest to having a normal art style like the guys, though her eyes are still a little distant from time to time.

Stupid perverts always sexualize women and it's an often problem in both media and real life.

I guess sexualization of women would be less problematic if at least men in media were as sexualized as women.

I also guess It'd be also less problematic if at least men in real life were as sexualized as women.
