Is there a way to differentiate clothing so only one gender wears it?

[Vanigo]

Dwarves don't have genders. They have different beard sizes.

(Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure there isn't.)

yup, there isn't I suggested it a few times, but as I haven't made a separate thread about it, it got ignored.

And of course we have to account for those dwarven nobles who want to feel pretty.

One issue with this is that the clothing available and the details about a culture are supposed to be decided randomly.  Say, some cultures might have women wear veils; others might have everyone wear veils; others might have only the men wear veils.

Of course, at some point the line between randomness and showing players a coherent world that makes sense to them has to be drawn...  if someone finds a civilization where only the men wear dresses and the women wear pants, their first thought is probably going to be "BUG!", not "neat randomness!"  Maybe this could be avoided by communicating to the player that this is a quirk of the culture they're looking at, somehow...

Dear log,

At last!
I have discovered a community with whom I fit in with!
My odd taste in clothing, ridiculed in these biased lands, will no longer be an issue!
I have burned my trousers as a gift of thanks to the blood god. A glorious day this is indeed!
