The Romans used attire similar to kilts, too - but again, they were designed to accommodate the differences between men and women.
A kilt is a type of skirt, it specifically being a kilt does not make it any less of a skirt.

If fitting body types was what was worrying the devs enough to prevent them from removing the genderlock, there would be no horror such as the male au ra casual top (or jacket or w/e it's called), they'd care enough to make it look decent.

Some people just seem to be against unlocking some gear because in their culture, it's deemed ugly or ridiculous.
But in a different culture, it could be alright. As Wissp stated above, throughout history, men have been wearing skirted attires commonly enough.
