Because it's fashion these days and there are plenty of women who still wear dresses. I personally prefer pants and men clothing cause that's what I like
To wear . I wear girls clothing too cause
I can wear whatever I want gender doesn't matter. People should wear what makes them happy. It's okay for a man to wear a dress and it's okay for a woman to wear pants as long as it makes them happy.

Its the new generation, in the past woman were woman, now its all mixed, freedom of rights for woman and man, wear what makes you comfortable and easy. Just like technology, we had some but now in the new generation is different from the past, more has developed for the good and for the bad.

I don't know honestly if I was a girl I'd probably wear it all the time. It's easy to slap on and you have plenty of leg room down there.

But... You can't show guys what you got with a flowy dress. Tight jeans and even yoga pants demand more attention and leave less for the imagination.

Women have transitioned to the gray uniform of the Marxists. They have been transexualized by feminism to mimic men and the men that of women. It is now more acceptable for males to wear dresses than females.

SpiderManFan2002 · Answer

Eh, I don't really like dresses. Leggings/tracksuit bottoms/jeans/trousers are much more comfortable, and comfortable- I'd only really wear a dress nowadays if I had to for a special occasion.

That said, some girls still do wear dresses/skirts regularly.

And as for why a lot of girls don't nowadays, because we have that choice, and there's no stigma attached to women/girls wearing trousers. I'm sure in the past, similar to how women couldn't vote, or work, it would have been frowned upon by society if a woman wore trousers, but overtime that changed, as did women being able to vote, and women being able to work.

hahahmm · Answer

Because feminism taught women not to care about a man’s preferences. An obvious example of this is “fat acceptance”.

Womem have devolved into wearing yoga pants to get male attention while lying to themselves and thinking they have more power thab they did when they wore dresses. Actually they have less power to get anything of value from men.

iambae · Answer

Because they have been taught wrong. Pants are not made for women. Women look best in dresses.

This is feminism at work and these pants have lead to them having health issues. As well as being more masculine in nature.

Most people don't know this but in the United States women were jailed for wearing pants and fined if their hair was cut short.
Quite simply it is against the law but the laws are not being enforced any longer.

GlitterFairy16 · Answer

I love wearing dresses and im kinda known for always wearing pretty day dresses but i see were your coming from, I've had a few people tell me im over dressed and ask if im trying to impress a boy or if im going somewhere special. Also in big citys there's a lot of upskirting and groping that happens to women so it's safer to wear trousers but i always make sure i have shorts under my dresses to keep my safety and dignity intacted.

mamamai · Answer

Most jobs in the past required you to wear dresses in skirts in the past. Most jobs now require you to wear pants. doesn’t help some creeps try to take pictures up women’s skirts

ghostqueen · Answer

Because most of us are more concerned with functionality and comfort over aesthetics. Dresses are cute, but they're also a pain in the ass to wear on a daily basis.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm glad they don't wear dresses, I prefer tomboyish girls in skinny or ripped jeans, shorts, sweatpants and yoga pants.
Girls in skirts are old-fashioned, usually religious and conservative, often extremely passive/submissive, either they are high maintenance, or gold-diggers, or narcissistic & empty-headed girly girls... and all the other features I don't like.

It's because nice dresses are more expensive than pants and slutty clothing. The market is literally geared towards sexualizing women and young girls

Wewladdy · Answer

Whores got rewarded and coddled instead of ostracized and showed the negatives behind their promiscuous lifestyles. Weak men did this and weak men are just like the women.
