Women’s bodies are treated differently than men’s bodies, in part, because men are physically and hormonally affected differently by physical appearance than women

You’re making the exact same argument as Warbler here. “Things should be treated differently because they’re different!”

and because American culture at large grew out of a more puritanical lifestyle.

This is true.

To say that things should change because they’ve always been the same is equally as arbitrary as saying that things should remain the same for the same reason.

Show me one example of somebody saying that “things should change because they’ve always been the same.” Nobody has made that argument.

For example, the reason why women wear bras now instead of corsets has less to do with cultural progressiveness toward women, but more to do with the push to save metal needed to otherwise use in World War I.

Ok. That doesn’t change the discussion that we’re having now. Right now, the reasons are progressiveness.
