    Why shouldn't it be available to female characters? Why can't gear just be gender neutral in the first place? You're simply being petty due to the current restrictions SE has placed.

    ...because the developers have proven time and time again that when non combat gear is designed to be unisex it is often made to be very feminine or androgynous. Not everything needs to be available to everybody and it'd be great if male characters could be thrown the occasional bone every now and then.

    I couldn't agree more with this. It'd be great if there were more male-exclusive gear that looks more masculine but that's just me.

    Does Lord Hien's outfit really strike you as being very masculine looking?

    Yes. The armor under the robe, the way he wears his robe with one shoulder exposed, the way some of the ribbons and strings are tied with minimal concern for aesthetics. These are things you'd see less associated with feminine aesthetics, and if you did see them associated with a female's outfit, they'd be labeled differently and invoke different associations.
