Daniel had no choice but to live in bablyon, the king tried to feed them with food that was against the word of God. Daniel knew he had to eat, but he refused to eat the kings meat that God warned against!
Separation from the world is not about cars, houses, or gadgets! It's about SIN! If something soley promotes that which is unclean, no christian should have it or do it! Whether it be TV, immodest apparel, wearing clothing for the opposite sex, etc!
You threw in the part about women clothing, and the word still says not to wear apparel of the opposite sex!
So the world says its okay because we have "womens" pants now? Since when did the world standards define what we do?
If the world says its cool for men to wear skirts, do we just change our stand with the times and say its okay?
The world may change, but God's word doesn't.
Conviction walks out when SELF justification walks in.

The Bible (pick your translation) is an incredibly complex and beautifully composed package of truths, narratives, and poetry. Many do it a great injustice and imo, a real disgrace by attempting to dumb down its meanings to fit their religious dogmas; thus, they miss out on what makes certain scriptural meanings special for their particular time and place.
Mr. Cox, after reading this post, I'm sorry to say that you still haven't reached the light flyweight class of theology yet. A bit of history might help you get there.
