He's saying he was extremely uncomfortable watching the video, but this is what women have to deal with all the time.

I understand that, but am just remarking that the video just seems like a camp pastiche of a pop song with some men in glittery pants rather than an example of something particularly outlandish. The original seems pretty sleazy and fairly rubbish, but as far as sleazy music videos go it is definitely on the tame end of the scale.

It does make me wonder if the author is actually just expressing a form of puritanism here.

I hope that the author was exaggerating when he talked about being so uncomfortable with the parody video that he couldn't keep watching.

However, you're looking at the wrong thing with the original video. Yes, the video itself is pretty tame. The problem with Blurred Lines is the lyrics.
