I'd rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it's silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

I think there is space for both sexualized and non-sexualized characters, as long as they are treated evenly. This is entertainment, they don't need to be all business serious.

I dread that in trying to be perfectly respectable, the medium might err to the side of prudishness and sexual repression.
