The question looks at the past through the eyes of current practice, which is to associate skirts entirely with females. But skirts/pants are sex neutral---where is the anatomical difference? They're 2 different ways to clothe the legs. Skirts are "draped" garments; pants are "tailored" garments. Draped garments were typically worn by both sexes in ancient times. Pants were "barbarian," not "male." Trousers originated in arctic areas and among horseback riding peoples because of the demands of climate and function---not, as psychiatry dismally asserts, "because male brain chemistry determines it." The modern Greek army wears a white pleated skirt. Get this straight everyone---skirts are like pants, "100% totally gender neutral." Social forces have determined clothing behavior. Until factory work in WW2 placed 17 million USA women into pants, women were forbidden to wear pants on the pretext that it would make them "transvestites!" Skirts are just as masculine as pants except through the eyes of childish associative "reasoning."
