Well first of all, those were robes, not dresses. Second of all pertain means be appropriate, related to, or applicable. Men have been wearing pants for as long as they’ve been out. Women have only started wearing them recently. For example: http://www.jaimetreadwell.com/Restroom-01.jpg

I’ve always seen it as a matter of modesty. Not trying to be overly legalistic here. That’s just how I’ve always seen it and in my family all the woman wear dresses. They don’t own any slacks. I guess it’s just a matter of how you we’re raised.

What you hit them with a rod if they wear pants? (yea a stretch)
Do they wear pants when you go camping, or in PE or at the beach or a picnic?
Ok, so they were robes, everyone wore the same thing.
It is legalistic to demand pants or not pants depending on the sex of the wearer.
As far as the modesty, I am way more modest in pants/slacks than a dress because my legs do not show.

Pants date at least to the Upper Paleolithic. I don't know who was wearing them then. My understanding is that when pants first appear in history on Persians and others around 600 BC, they were worn by both males and females.
