women have been wearing men's clothing for many decades now. At least in terms of wearing pants or slacks instead of skirts or dresses. Speaking as a female, I thank the deity if there is one. I haven't owned any kind of skirt or dress for many decades now. I will admit, that recently in clothing stores I've been looking at dresses and thinking I need to try some on.

Men can wear kilts with no problem, although that's hardly women's clothing. I think one "problem" is that men on average are not only bigger and taller than women (duh!) but other aspects of their bodies are different. Perhaps traditional "women's clothing" could be re-imagined to fit male bodies. Hmmm, that seems quite interesting. To see men in skirts or dresses designed for a male body. Alas, sexism of so many kinds is rampant, and there would not be the kind of social acceptance for men to wear such skirts or dresses as had been the case for women to wear plants or slacks for so many decades. Too bad. I bet a lot of men would wear skirts or dresses designed for them if given the opportunity.
