It is also traditional in the Judeo-Christian society, as evinced by the scripture above.
And let's look closer at that scripture he used to illustrate the "abomination" of women wearing warrior's clothing:
Deuteronomy 22, verse 5:
5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
You'll notice it says NOTHING about "women wearing warrior's clothing" - and yet, he directly attributes this falsehood to scripture:
"Yes, Scripture makes it clear that the real issue is not women soldiers in combat roles vs. women soldiers in non-combat roles. The real issue is women playing the role of soldier, period. Remarkably, the Bible spells out several wrongs so outrageous, so wicked, that they earn the title of "an abomination." Homosexuality is one. Killing innocent children is another. Having women serve as soldiers is a third. This act of a woman putting on "the gear of a warrior" (keli gabar) is described in Deuteronomy 22:5 as "an abomination." "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God" (emphasis mine)."
Now, I can ascertain that women being warriors is NOT considered an abomination in scripture - but I CAN ascertain that attributing falsehoods to scripture is a sin.
Even if you wanted to believe that women warriors are an abomination based on the "wearing of men's clothing", that can be shot down in one sentence:
Men's and women's uniforms are different by military code and issuance; the sexes have their OWN unique uniforms that are subtly different, and they must be worn by the appropriate gender.
Well, that Is interesting, but I never said it was an abomination.
I said that the way we are doing it is DUMB.
and it IS.
