They were made different..
"If you’ve read the Bible, then you’ve probably come across the phrase “gird up your loins.” I’ve always thought it was a funny turn of phrase. Loins….heh.
Back in the days of the ancient Near East, both men and women wore flowing tunics. Around the tunic, they’d wear a belt or girdle. While tunics were comfortable and breezy, the hem of the tunic would often get in the way when a man was fighting or performing hard labor. So when ancient Hebrew men had to battle the Philistines, the men would lift the hem of their tunic up and tuck it into their girdle or tie it in a knot to keep it off the ground. The effect basically created a pair of shorts that provided more freedom of movement. Thus to tell someone to “gird up their loins” was to tell them to get ready for hard work or battle. It was the ancient way of saying “man up!”"
A woman's robe wasn't made to be able to do this.
Found this on Wikipedia..

"simlāh, kethōneth, sādhı̄n
While a woman's garments mostly corresponded to those of men: they wore simlāh and kethōneth, they also evidently differed in some ways from those of men[1][5] (see
Deuteronomy 22:5). Women's garments were probably longer (compare
Nahum 3:5,
Jeremiah 13:22,
Jeremiah 13:26,
Isaiah 47:2), had sleeves (
2Samuel 13:19), presumably were brighter colors and more ornamented, and also may have been of finer material.[1][5]
Also worn by women was the sadin, the finer linen underdress (see
Isaiah 3:23,
Proverbs 22:24).[5]"
The opposite of Breeches. Why because that design pertained unto a man.
