i ultimately don't think the way japanese media treats women is all that different from how western media treats women, it's just not christian about it
in a lot of ways it's generally more openly sexual and less judgemental of sexuality, at least within the context of fiction. i think it tends to rub up against western christian ideas in a way that makes white people get a little scared. other than that almost every present issue of misogyny is just as pronounced in western, especially american media.
a lot of shounen anime treats women badly, unlike american action films, which has historically been hyperfeminist i'm sure :)
