I would be almost certain that the statement wasn?t designed to be interpreted the way you?ve read it (although in being non-specific, there may I suppose have been PC implications there).
From an idealistic standpoint I am not a huge proponent of gender role and norm distinctions as while it has never been a major barrier for me (my own history being rather unusual anyway) I can imagine there are many likeminded individuals who feel constrained by what they feel to be social limitations and I?m not convinced that the evolution that made such distinctions necessary at one time can be said to be so relevant now.
That said, if distinctions in gender norms were to be removed in their entirety, I imagine it would affect the relationship that most have with their dressing habit / compulsion.
