I think it also have to do with: woman feel atrackted to men. And men to woman.
Maybe it is then, if you're a woman and you dress like a men. And behave like one, then you are more closely to the men than the woman. (sexuality perspective) So maybe those woman see you as a another woman who fits more with the men around here. And in nature, everyone wants to find a mate. Another woman is a treat. Espacialy if she fits much more by the male.
