No, not exactly the same? But as someone who's never been there I'd feel like an idiot saying "Japan is sexist and Canada is not!".
I'd say my culture has sexist elements that many people blindly accept, and at least with my own I'm in a much better position to see how my culture and sexism are related. Like being able to tell when something is satirical, you know?
Also I just realised the original anon was talking about feminists who watch anime, and I've barely watched any. Just to be clear!

I feel pretty comfortable suggesting a culture may have more endemic problems with sexism then my own.

Like no culture is entirely free of sexist elements obviously, but I've seen far too many people pretend that we don't get to judge say Saudi Arabia because cultural relativism, and that we can never make an objective assessment.

And fuck that nonsense. It's backwards to sit about pretending that everything is always of equal weight and we can never make a clear cut judgement.

Thank you. I'm so sick of people claiming it's horrible to point out problems in other cultures. Maybe if they're just criticizing it because it's different, that's an issue, but if they're critical of their own culture as well, they're using their brain. Just because it's "culture" doesn't mean it's right or free from criticisms. It's downright dangerous to afford something that level of protection from judgement.

I think I agree with you, I'm just reluctant to get into anything too specific about anime because it's easier to make a clear cut judgement about sexist laws and abuse in Saudi Arabia than cultural output and it's meaning. I've only seen a few anime series, I've never studied or lived in Japan. I think my opinion beyond "annoying stereotypes, couldn't watch" would be pretty vapid. What bothers me isn't necessarily what actually matters when people know the culture/context/history.
