Could someone please tell me why, today, it's okay for WOMEN to wear stockings, high heels, ruffles & lace - and for MEN to wear pants? We're ALL "crossdressing," it seems.

Good points, but remember, we are talking about 1940 (and even sooner, to many) as being a benchmark.
And yes, in the 4th century, women in the Western world wore pants, which they adapted from the Persians. At that time, pants were considered unmanly.
