Are we talking specifically Japanese manga, or does this include manhwa/manhua as well?
Also, the amount/kind of sexism you see will depend a LOT on what genre you're reading, so it's hard to give an umbrella statement for "manga" in general.
Even in shoujo and josei manga there's definitely still sexism, but it's not the same objectification for example you often see in shoujo manga. There's a lot more internalized misogyny and negative perceptions of other women/"not like other girls" stuff in female-targeted demographics, rather than outright treating women as sex objects or prizes to be won.
Also, your survey asks if you know feminist mangas and to list them twice.
