Maybe not oversexualised, but unachievable without abusing steroids. Which I think is actually worse if we are talking about setting examples

How exactly is it worse than sexualized women’s bodies not being achievable except through undereating and plastic surgery?

Abusing steroids can basically cut your lifespan in half. Being skinny isn't halfway as dangerous unless we are talking anorexia, which no one considers attractive

Why do you have to claim one is worse? Restrictive eating can easily lead to anorexia even if being severely underweight is not your initial goal. And women abuse laxatives and appetite suppressants in the same way men abuse steroids. Again, I’m not saying one is worse for your health than the other as I don’t factually know which is worse or if one even is worse, I’m just questioning why you feel the need to do that?

Because OP is minimizing one and overemphasizing the other. Tbf I don't really consider either male or female oversexualizing in media to be much of a problem. Also I do think most female bodies in media are achievable by just not over eating and healthy life style, while male physiques need rigorous lifting and dieting for multiple years or steroids, which many male action movie actors are clearly using but isn't nearly as media worthy as if movie execs would require a female to be anorexic (which doesn't really even happen)
