I'd guess so because on average, men's shorts only show about half the leg, stopping slightly above the knee, while women's shorts show basically the entire leg, stopping right at the top of the thigh/slightly below the butt cheeks. For visual examples, styles may vary, but on average, men's shorts lengths are something like this, while women's are something like this.

Not only that, but in addition to women's shorts typically showing more skin, women are expected to shave, and judged rather harshly if they don't, while for men society just doesn't care. Meaning women basically have to shave their entire legs all the way through since women's shorts are so short. You can even see this in the photos I linked. The man's legs are hairy and the woman's are clean shaven, because society just doesn't care what men do with their body hair, while the same doesn't hold true for women.

And as such, it's easier for a relatively confident man to just put on some shorts and head out, while a woman would have to be REALLY confident in her legs, and on top of that do a lot of shaving and exfoliation before they can even put on shorts.

That's just my take on it, but... is it wrong? Is it right?
