Well expressed, please feel free to continue and go on a rant about this.

I think it may be best described not that all sexy and more brief clothing is for women but that body positivity is becoming increasingly for women. Although I think it has for a long time been thr case that having the self-perception of being "beautiful" while being male has been a subversive act in a way.

There are certainly disadvantages but it does open up the possibility for those of us who are male and enjoy wearing less clothing to make a strong statement of confidence. The ubiquity of women's bikinis detracts from the boldness of wearing them. Thus I have been trying to get out of the mindset of being bothered that the swimwear and clothing I like is not considered the norm for men and into a mindset of making the most of this interesting opportunity.
