He definitely isn't - though I found that ogling Eva in MGS3 being an optional/interactive part of a few cutscenes sorta... Well done in that sense? I mean it kinda puts the objectification more on the player. But yeah overall not great on writing women in his games even if it's an attempt at getting meta with it.
I gotta agree that he pulled it off well with EVA but it's also because of the game being somewhat of a Bond character. In the 1960s Bond movie Connery rapes lesbians into heterosexuality, uses them as human shields and if they're an enemy spy trying to seduce him he's one step ahead. Snake and EVAs relationship totally subverts that, Snake is an awkward simp who stares at her tits while totally getting honeypotted and played by her every step along the way and is only left alive at the end of the game because she chose to not kill him, mostly due to their mutual connection with The Boss. It was the influence of another woman that caused her to spare him, not feels. Like she says, it was Eve who ended out tempting the snake. Kojima was smarter then.
It's the first with the second as an excuse. Kojima isn't subtle.
