Probably because I believe you should wear whatever makes you comfortable within the context of the event you are attending. Women could be wearing suits, and men dresses or skirts, I don't think that matters. And if and it was just down to my personal opinion, it would be wear whatever you want that makes you happy.

I understand some groups have expectation about people dressing nice and if I'm attending, I will conform.

But my point was that everyone had a dress code imposed upon them and that it could have been handled maybe a little better. Just tell people to dress up I guess, no need to specify which sexes gets to wear what.
