Is it wrong that women can wear pants but men cannot wear skirts?

My previous MyTake about business clothing differences between men and women got me thinking. In our society it's generally seen as acceptable that women wear pants (albeit only certain types like skinny jeans or leggings), except for certain situations like formal or business occasions. On the other hand, it is unacceptable for men to wear any skirt/dress at all.

Is this fair? I'd argue that it is. Traditionally women wore skirts, but this changed when women started to be recognized more equally in American city. Skirts aren't as practical as pants, so women started wearing them, and it became acceptable. Men, on the other hand, have no reason to wear skirts. They're just dressing in a more unpractical garment, when pants have always worked fine.

That's just my opinion though, what's yours? Should standards allow men to wear skirts, remain the same, *or* go back to the old standards of allowing women only to wear skirts.

Yes, men should be able to wear skirts
No, things are fine as they are
