6. You don't get a ball gown there, but ...
some women's clothing manufacturers make the buttons button the other way and there's no stigma to wearing a shirt that buttons to the right.

They started doing that when dry cleaners, sexistly, said they had to charge more to clean women's shirts because they buttoned the other way.

You'd be surprised. There are a lot of women who wear men's pants because they are alterable or because they aren't cut as high as women's pants are. Most people - certainly not men - notice which way the fly goes. I don't wear stuff like that out for an evening, but to the office? Sure.
