Having muscular shirtless dudes in literally every MCU movie and Captain America admiring his own ass is cool, but GOD FORBID that evil "male gaze" get to enjoy something.

After reading that article, it sounds like you really failed English class, because your reading comprehension sucks. Based on that article, it sounds like she wasn't complaining that her character wore erotic revealing clothing, but rather she was complaining about the dialogue in the script in which other characters made sexual remarks towards or about her character. In short, she was complaining about the dialogue, not the visuals. People like you with dismissive attitudes towards sexism are why studios like Blizzard Entertainment are having the huge problems that they are. You demonize any woman who dares to point out problems, thereby creating a hostile environment in which sexism is allowed to continue and its victims have no recourse.

From the article:
Scarlett Johansson has spoken out against the sexualisation of Black Widow in Iron Man 2, the 2010 blockbuster in which her character first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.
Speaking in a pool interview in the run-up to the release of the standalone Black Widow film, Johansson said: While [Iron Man 2] was really fun and had a lot of great moments in it, the character is so sexualised, you know? [She is] really talked about like shes a piece of something, like a possession or a thing or whatever like a piece of ass, really. And Tony even refers to her as something like that at one point I want some.
