Anime like all art is subjective, and you can not form an argument about an art as a whole without admitting it's an opinion and that you haven't seen all of it (which should be set and standard when dealing with anything subjective). Yes, art should be scrutinized from every aspect and every group, as that is the point of art. How art effects you and what you feel defines you. To deny anyone that because you disagree with it is to invalidate the artwork itself.
"Man chooses and makes himself by acting. Any action implies the judgment that he is right under the circumstances not only for the actor, but also for everybody else in similar circumstances."- Franz Adler.
I can not say you are wrong for your opinion. You are not. How you handled the displaying of your opinion is wrong, but that is a social and moral issue, not about what is on topic. Is there sexism in anime? Yes. There is sexism in all things in large and small verities that come down to dimorphic sex roles. There is nothing wrong with that in some ways as long as you can look at it, and understand what it is that you're looking at and if what subject you are looking at is or is not for you. You can have a negative opinion of that subject, but it should always be for the subject itself and not be used to paint all art of that field.
If a subject is not for you, you can express that, but it doesn't devalue the art that you are looking at. If you are for said art, then that is for you, but you shouldn't yell at those whom the art is not for, nor discredit their opinions for what they would prefer changed. You can not stamp out sexism in art, because even art designed to offend is still art and deserves to be made and evaluated [footnote] This again has to harken back to the fact that it has to be legal in the first place. Banksy is a good artist, but his art is still when you get down to it vandalism.I appreciate and applaud his work when done legally, but when not, I will not be ignorant for when he gets caught and fined.
