【海外の反応】「解剖学的に男はスカートのほうが合理的じゃね？」海外掲示板の素朴な疑問が深い

Men used to wear skirts for the reason your thinking of however as the military fashion changed men started to wear pants mainly because of horse back riding and to deal with colder conditions and the woman wore dresses because it was scandalous for woman to look like soldiers.

Pants are more practical for men if you live in a climate where it's cold and that's alot of the western countries. So it just stuck and became hard to change back until it became thought of as always womens fashion when it wasn't.

I like the added layer of protection personally but you do you. Just a matter of preference. One isn’t “more logical due to anatomy”. Just arbitrary cultural gender norms. Both pants and dresses work perfectly fine regardless of your gender.

All these comments saying women didn't ride *sigh*

Women did ride in dresses. Look up riding habits and sidesaddle. They used to jump and everything

Pants seem like they're less likely to get tangled up in a skirmish or in farming equipment which would be a big deal back in the day. Modern day urban living, not so much, although I still would want pants when doing any physical labor or working in a factory. (I used to work in heavy industry and there's no way I'm wearing loose clothing there.)

I don't care what other people wear, but if literally all clothing was suddenly 100% culturally unisex, I'm probably still wearing pants 90% of the time.

It's all social expectations at this point, I don't see any practical value in gendered clothing these days aside from sizing. We're stuck with gendered clothing because of manufacturing that  charges more for women's clothing when actually men's versions of shorts and trousers use more fabric because they get pockets in everything, tend to be larger and harder wearing. 

It wouldn't really be more logical that women wear pants. The way women urinate historically is easier to manage by pulling skirts out of the way up to the waist rather than pulling something down. Managing menstruation with skirts is also easier because you can add a bunch of extra materials and an extra layer or two to protect the outer skirt from stains without it being entirely obvious in skirts, but pants are fitted enough not to allow for that so easily. Both men and women benefit from having airflow in that entire area.

Mostly men are able to urinate easily in pants with only a slight modification, and their (on average, for the range of things a normal person might be expected to do) superior agility, stamina, and strength means they spend more time doing the sort of climbing over and onto things where not needing to worry about a skirt being tangled is nice.

Both men and women do benefit from airflow, though.

My husband expressed this exact same thought last year when it got very hot one summer. He asked, "does your junk ever get super sweaty when it's hot?" and I said, more or less no, and he was like damn, why do you get the skirts then

Shouldnt the divide be: pants for people that do physical work, pants or dresses for Office/Sales personel?

Do construction worker in your culture wear dresses?

Im an older guy who's danglies dangle even more so nowadays.
I find tighter fitting under garments more comfortable nowadays while preferring looser clothing in general.
