I think it's the whole "pants, hair and makeup" package that causes women to feel they're carrying the whole load. Women are the ones who are spotted in public as being Pentecostal. Men don't stand out, women do. You stated earlier that any woman dressing modestly would stand out, but that's really not the deal. Pentecostal women stand out because of the whole package - long hair, no makeup, and a skirt. I see plenty of women who are dressed modestly, but I don't immediately think "they're Pentecostal". But a Pentecostal woman can be spotted a mile away..... because of the whole package - hair, pants, makeup. And lack of jewelry (other than a wedding ring or watch).
I always just felt like an oddball. I hated being so noticeable in a crowd. Pentecostal men don't have that issue.
It's not about modesty, really. I know very few women who really want to dress immodestly. They just want to fit in a little better in the culture, not stand out so much because of the way they look.
