Yes, well they are considered feminine nowadays in most cultures. Also, it was just not practical for men to wear skirts and dresses considering the work they had to do throughout our history. Imagine a man "plowing the fields" in such attire? I'm pretty sure that particular "look" was for the wealthy men and not poor ones who actually had to do manual physical labor for a living.
In some cultures, it is customary for women to be covered from head to toe. In others, to be naked to the waist. It is entirely subjective.

I'm talking about most cultures here though. Most of them are quite similar to ourselves because it's a matter of practicality. Most people prefer clothing also because it would protect you from the elements as well as bugs and leering weirdos too. Lol.
And some have done and do cover more that the average western woman.
Again though, I'm talking about what you most commonly see. Aside from some religious extremists, most women aren't covering more than the average western woman, nor are they revealing more, except for maybe on the beaches in some countries, but they usually will always have their genitals covered, and that is not only for modesty purposes but also for practicality purposes. You don't really want to sit on the hot sand without any panties on, you know?
I'm just pointing out that these norms are quite mutable. I don't think that the society of 100+ years ago would find the average western woman of today to be sufficiently feminine, or at least sufficiently ladylike.
Nor would they find the average western man sufficiently manly due to his lack of practical skills, burps, farts, and Truck Nutz, notwithstanding.
Today: women are less feminine and men are MORE feminine.
Agree or disagree?
