This is a horse/cart situation and basing your logic and reasoning on cultural norms makes for an incredibly fragile foundation.
Women want to wear more revealing clothing because society tells them that that's what women are expected to wear and vice versa for men. The entirety of "business wear" is a paradigm created over a century ago when men were considered professionals and women were considered hired help at best and office decorations at worst. The word "scientist" was coined to describe a woman with a degree in science because the term up until then, man of science, didn't apply and they couldn't just call her a "doctor of x" because she held 3 doctorates in different fields. When the Romans first invaded Britain, they mocked the English for wearing pants, something that only women wore in Italy. Right up until the first chill breeze went up their skirts, then pants were suddenly incredibly manly.
Speaking of pants, have you ever looked at women's pants? Pockets are a rarity because they mess up the clean lines and form of the hips. That's not something women choose. Ask any woman and I bet she'll have plenty to say about the lack of pockets in women's clothing, and none of it will be good. A pair of good pants with pockets is a jealously guarded treasure to be well cared for lest they wear out. Clothes designers care more about the form of women('s clothes) than the function.
I bet you if speedos made a comeback, the fuss would be from older men saying that they looked gay or feminine.
