Aside from sounding outright silly, this expression is not the least bit egalitarian, as there has never been an equivalent term for men. We don’t have "pecker pals" or "phallic friends" or "cock comrades."

Bosom Buddies
Far more than a classic '80s sitcom starring the incomparable Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, "Bosom Buddies" is a stupid expression referring to female friends who are very close to one another.

Except that the term was "bosom friend" at first and the word "bosom" used in that expression had nothing to do with female breasts, rendering your unwitty comparisons moot. Its use was not limited to females, either.
