This just tells us how far back the patriarchy goes.
I hate it when someone posts a photo from Reddit without context, it's so obviously trollbaity it's embarrassing, especially when you're posting it at 4:30AM.
This is ceremonial armor representing Varahi, one of the mother goddesses of Hindu. Has nothing to do with the patriarchy.

This has always annoyed me about the movie WILLOW.
The tritagonist warrior-princess character spends 80-90% of the movie in shapeless, functional, androgynous clothing, and looks really sexy and beautiful anyway. Then, in a couple of scenes toward the end, she changes her armour for no reason to this ridiculous tit-sculpted skin-baring Fangoria-looking getup that is clearly no good for battle and only included for fanboy titillation. I mean, it's no gold slave bikini, but it's a little bit of a let-down in otherwise very heartening consistency. At least they kept the sweat and dirt on her, all the way through.

From the National Portrait Gallery: a woman dressed as a Valkyrie for the Devonshire House Fancy Dress Ball of 1897.

Male armor copied the male body in the same way, including an (oversized) cod piece.

Maybe people enjoy a metal boob.
Why? Who knows?
