One more point: It's often said that "The clothes don't make the man." Well, they don't make the woman either. If we go past the secretaries, receptionists, etc. in their pencil skirts and heels, we find women (100% female) working in factories and maintenance jobs, dressed in the very same clothes as their male co-workers. My point is, you are what you are and what you wear doesn't change that.
I have a different take on these thoughts. We are taught in Western society that men wear pants and drab, clunky clothing so as not to attract attention to themselves, while women wear pants, skirts, and beautiful, colorful clothing. Women in maintenance jobs wear the same clothing as their male counterparts, but the opposite is never true. Why aren't men that work as secretaries required to wear skirts? There is a huge double standard.
