That scene is overwhelmingly the worst one, but there's still some shit later on. In terms of SV against women, this video contains roughly every shot in the anime (maybe missing a couple shots in the UFO). There's more bad male gaze stuff in the manga, but I don't remember it reaching the level of violence again. The manga still has some pretty vile elements, though.

None of this is to encourage you to watch it, I think it's very fair to avoid it. I think, maybe even more so than with other anime, it's disappointing that it was made this way because it actually has some very charming writing when it's not being het (derogatory) and both the manga and anime have lovely art in their action scenes, and I'm not a worldbuilding guy, but I think the worldbuilding is kind of interesting too.

I dream of a day where, under communism, this sort of exploitation is banned and we get cool battle manga that aren't derailed by pedo shit (or violence against adult women either).

Yeah I don't get it, either. There's ways to talk about sexual abuse that don't involve showing gratuitous fetish shit. Wonder Egg Priority did it well (until the ending when production became a mess and the new show runner thought it would be a good idea to self-insert as the abuser).
