Why are some girls' shorts still called, "BOY SHORTS" now that most boys are afraid to wear real shorts?
I know they got the name because they look like the swimsuits American boys wore in the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s (before ridiculous baggy bathing pants became required by the fashion police) but why are they still called BOY SHORTS now that very few boys and men dare to wear a sensible swimsuit in public?

They are called "boy shorts" because that's the name of the style. Everybody knows what you mean when you call them that. What else do you propose to call them?
What marketing people choose to identify a women's style of shorts/swimsuits/underwear has nothing to do with what boys/men wear while swimming. Get over it.
