I mean, we all know once we started letting women into the US military all sexism stopped, as did sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination.

It's so weird to see that sexism isn't solved in a fantasy world, when we managed it in reality!
That is not my argument. My argument is that we cannot possibly know how gender dynamics exist in Eorzea because their level of egalitarianism between the sexes is so far out and alien to our own world. Therefore, making assumptions that rape functions the same way as we know it is fallacious.
Your post also doesn't acknowledge that day-to-day sexism is apparently non-existent in Eorzea, whereas in our own, it is still very much a thing.
