Outdated, definitely. Like I said, the answer that was given was "Tradition", which is outdated almost by definition.
I remembering being uncomfortable whenever forced to wear a dress as a child, but I think this stems more from not liking to wear dresses. Gwen at least seems to choose skirts and pants roughly equally, now that she's in charge of picking out her own clothes. So I think that adjusting to wearing only skirts -- especially if all the other girls are all wearing only skirts -- could be less difficult for her than I would've found it.
