Please support this assertion
First of all nobody says women have always worn them.
Second nobody is saying women everywhere have worn them for a long time, some time or at some point in antiquity.
The fact is neither men nor women have always worn pants everywhere all the time in history
The reason men have probably is for the same reason men girded their loins. Men needed garments that the did not trip over to fight. That was why Romans wore short skirts. Same with the Kilts. It allowed for free movement while fighting or doing other athletic activities
But even then men wearing pants universally is only a RECENT invention
