Why does she go on about certain clothes being "men's" clothes when there is no one stopping any woman from wearing anything at all? The only clothes that are really gendered anymore are dresses and skirts, maybe crop tops if you count the fact no straight man would really wear those.

But women wear suits all the time and no one questions their womanhood or femininity. I imagine suits are just often easier to deal with than a flowing skirt that'll get caught on stuff. Even if women started wearing what used to be men's clothes in order to get some amount of respect from men (back when femininity was associated with the inability to have a valid opinion), that isn't the case in this century in the first world. Clothes are clothes and women can wear whatever they want without backlash from anyone who matters.
