Why are only women targetted?

Just read a clipping on Hindustan Times website." Telugu film actresses among nine held for prostitution ".  The report says , Telugu film actresses Saira Banu and Jyoti and seven others were caught red-handed in a prostitution racket busted by Hyderabad police on Monday. The police have not revealed the identity of the other arrested but sources have not ruled out involvement of some rich and famous in the racket. Kundan Bagh is a high-security area having houses of ministers, bureaucrats and other VIPs.

Why didnt the report headlines say, " So and So ( the male customers) held for visiting prostitutes ".Is the dignity of the women involved not at stake? Why are the names of the males involved never revealed? Discrimination against women never ends.
