Even a men's kilt raises eyebrows of ones gender identity!
There's multiple theories I've heard that would explain why this is.
One theory is that masculinity is seen by society as having a higher status level than femininity. Thereby, it makes sense why tomboys are far more acceptable than sissys.
A second theory is most women don't try to pass themselves as male when wearing masculine clothing. Women's reasoning for wearing masculine clothing (it's cheaper, more durable, more comfortable, etc.) is nowhere near as taboo as the commonly associated reasons why men may wear feminine clothing (sexual arousal, being a transsexual, etc.)
A third theory is it simply hasn't become a trend yet.
