I agree with Canadane here. There is nothing wrong with gender locked gear and when i checked out the Lodestone Database. It appeared that they forgot to include Expeditioner's Gloves for males, or that they might have made a mistake making the gloves gender specific.

If that was the case, then i’d be sure they would fix it through a patch or a hotfix. But, then i remembered that i saw the Expeditioner's Set within one of the recent trailers.



As you can see here, the Expeditioner's Set for male characters doesn’t appear to have gloves in the first place. So, by looking at it from that aspect, it’s not like they forgot the gloves for the set, but rather the set didn’t include gloves for males.

You could say that the set that’s currently available is not a mistake, but “by design”.
