Why Women and not Men?

I have always wondered why religion encourages the manifestation of the beauty of men and covering that of women. Why are women not supposed to get turned on? Why there is no single thing that orders men to hide their beauty or attractiveness or whatever it is called? Why are men allowed to have their upper parts naked although it can be a source of extreme sexual arousal to women? Why are women and only women considered element of desire while men are not? why there is no order for men to hide their beauty from women? I know that some men are seen beautiful as much as women, for example when you go through a fashion magazine a man sees the female models as beautiful and/or sexy and also the women see the same in male models, something that has nothing to do with characters and manhood but with looks, just looking at a photo!!! So beauty does exist in men, it's not very common but still exists, my question was why beautiful or attractive or handsom men are not ordered to hide or minimize this??? Why wasn't the Prophet Youssef ordered to hide his beauty? It was obvious how he affected the ladies still he wasn't orderd to cover his body or hair or whatever they found attractive in him. Just a simple question. Based on my own experience in The Islamic Republic of Iran, which has a strict law that women should wear scarfs and should wear a kind of long blouse that reaches just above the knee. I didn't know this fact before going to Tehran but in the plane and just after landing I found all the femles getting out their scarfs and wearing them. Also from Tehran and as soon as the door of the plane was closed, all the ladies took off their scarfs (including some 50+ women!!!) putting in mind that the Iranian ladies are already very beautiful and sexy and with the scarfs they get more and more tempting, I just don't know why. About the blouses that should be (By law) Long and with long sleeves, some Iranian ladies try to make it as sexy, exotic and eye catching as possible by making it very tight for example, brightly colored, decorated...etc. Also they wear very well applied make up, strong perfumes and try as much as possible to expose as allowed as possible from their beautiful hair. In Iran the government just wants to spread an Islamic APPEARANCE of the country, accordingly the schools and universities are separated so are the cinemas and the consequence is the thirst of the young generation to GET OUT. You will be amazed to know that almost all the people I met who are my age and younger dream to go to USA although we all know how Iran and USA are with eachother. You will be amazed also to know that the people are just like any societies with religious and non religious people and also that prostitution is found there. Also in KSA, it's the same problem. I'm not against or with Hijab, I'm sure that God sees deep inside us, into our souls and hearts rather than checking if my beard has been shaven or grown and if this lady has covered her hair or not, an extreme difference between GOD and HUMANS. Most humans tend to go for looks and get affected but God has his own divine ways of judging as he is the only judge and only he knows ow to judge. Finally, looks never say the truth, never. I'm just against forcing girls to wear Hijab and I'm sorry to say that uptill now some families force their daughters to wear Hijab and the results are tragic.
