Women are pressured more to not express sexuality. It's not really a "get in trouble" thing as to which is more socially acceptable with regard to bringing the talk out of the locker room, but who will be judged more by their peers. Women get the slut label and men don't. And it's usually applied by other women, not by men.
It's still pretty hard to get a guy in trouble for making sexual remarks unless it's really overt.
Men are probably more likely to act on their ideas since we've been conditioned to always need to make the first move. It kind of goes both ways in that women don't have to fear rejection since they don't make the first move in dating situations, but that also means they have to deal with the onslaught of men making advances.
I agree with your points about social pressures and social conditioning and their impacts on the behavior of both genders. I agree that women face more pressure to repress their sexuality and that the slut label/social judgement plays a larger role for their gender.
I do agree with those points. However, men think about sex more than women and are more likely to seek out sex than women. There are social factors at play, but there is also biology.
Men are also more aggressive in their sexual behavior. Over time, this is why society has become less accepting of males making sexual remarks than females. Men are more likely to make others uncomfortable because the threat of escalation is greater.
It's not nearly as taboo for a female to make a sexually inappropriate remark in modern society. If a woman made a remark about a man's penis and a man made a remark about a woman's vagina under controlled sets of workplace cultures/environments/policies, the man would be more likely to get into trouble (decreased social acceptance).
