I think the actual issue is that the devs have little incentive to make both a male and female outfit when most players will be satisfied with just the male one. Add onto that that whenever they do add male-only outfits, a ton of female characters say, "We want to wear that too!" and the devs get the impression that it's much more effective to just make male-based gear that everyone can wear.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I agree with this mindset. In my ideal world we'd be getting Fran's outfit along with Balthier's, Garnet's outfit along with Zidane's etc, and both genders would be able to wear all of them (and nothing would ever be added to Mog Station again). Unfortunately, given the history of this game, I'm not holding out hope for it.
