As for the male thing though, i guess there’s a difference between what looks “cool” and what’s inherently masculine. I guess it’s down to partially subjective tastes as well. 100% though healers and casters rarely ever have masculine gear if at all.
I know I personally find it tedious on my lady cats. It's always some exposed thigh variant, and even when I was younger I didn't do that. I don't object to "feminine" clothing in the slightest, but feminine does not always equal bare thighs or skimpy underwear as outerwear. There's much more to femininity than that. However, I'm not ever after removing that from the people who do like it (and I do buy it when people say they don't have enough of those options, as they're looking at it from a different place than I do). Just wish I could have the stuff I'd prefer. I don't feel completely badly done to, however, I usually find enough to make things work. I largely suspect we're all in the same boat, just different cabins.

And whilst I can imagine my concept of masculine gear for my chaps is likely different to, say yours or Theodric's, I absolutely understand the request to want things considerably less frilly - I certainly wish the female gear was less frilly and childish, short shorts or skirts, and my main catguy wouldn't wear bows or frills, shorts or skirts either - unless Fashion Report demands it, of course. Though like I said, I usually find enough to make things work. I don't think anything should be genderlocked in theory, however. I just want a good range for everyone - whilst at the same time knowing it's not entirely practical, and that sort of feels a bit meh.
