Express yourself

Is "celebrating your sexuality" something that Western mainstream culture meanwhile attributes positively only to women?
'Cause, if a man does that the same way how a woman does that, either they call him "Chauvinist!" or they decline with a thanks, rolling their eyes over the guy "oh man, he's so gay...", which then doesn't count as "an average man celebrating his urges and desires".
So, is it that this celebration of oneself is a female trait in the first place - or is it that a manly style meanwhile has become regarded so much against the public morals, so that only gay men with an instinctive style more similar to women are allowed to celebrate themselves in this point of their personalities (but those don't count as "manly pride" because of their basic sexual orientation and their rather effeminate kind to take this aspect on)?

In Western feminist ideology, women are always the victims and, probably, can get away with whatever they want because - don't you dare to critisize a woman, you sexist!
I don't know, sure this played a role in that - in making female sexuality something that should cause positive reactions. You know, you aren't allowed to not clap your hands and praise her for her "courage".
At least I feel like this has been the "first stage", like it's been part of the old femenism.
Feminism from the modern days, it takes slightly more a turn towards accusing everyone else of objectifying a woman, while she actually does that herself pretty well or even wants that. So to say, a "go hide your tits!"-ideology that isn't so amused about younger and prettier women using exactly what they were taught to use in order to progress in this world.
Although, still rests also that part of the ideological scene which encourages you to praise a woman for showing herself naked. (Duuuuh... *yawns*)

Let's say, due to that, somehow, there's been a huge focusing onto female sexuality, while condemning the male version of it, if it's something else than what a woman would do too.
