Perhaps. However, I think you will find that S&M's position on this matter is more prevalent in the minds of the feminist left than you might like to imagine.
"Don't look at, talk to, or sexualize us in any way (unless we want you to, which you're just supposed to read our minds about, apparently) or else you're an evil sexist who's oppressing women through harassment" seems to be the overall gist of the message here.
Frankly, even besides that, the other major issue is that they're not willing to address the root causes of the problem anyway; namely our horndog "anything goes" culture, and the depraved ideas about sex, courtship, and acceptable social behavior it tends to give a lot of young men.
At the end of the day, the only aim of this nonsense is to rile up women, and try and make men who actually don't misbehave feel bad about their gender, so they'll both be more likely to support feminist ideological and legislative causes. The kinds of men who actually are guilty of this kind of misogynistic crap, quite frankly, don't give a damn.
That's more militant feminism though. Women who hate men, and espouse radical thoughts like that are militant feminists. I don't listen to them because their rhetoric and arguments are bunk straight out of the gate. I prefer to pay attention to the women who believe that they should be treated equally with men and that they should be paid the same for equal work and that reproductive choices are up to the woman. Black and white. Freedom and equality. That's real feminism. What you're showcasing is the jihadist version of feminism, in other words, don't listen to that trash, man, because it's trash, man.
