Skirts, trousers, wear whatever makes you happy.
I for one would not wear a skirt, I'd rather wear a kilt. May in fact buy one someday.. or two.

Whatever one wants to, as for me.

That's not an inherent problem with pants-for-girls that can't be fixed.

Many would. It's important that these things are investigated and tested from a young age to improve human aesthetics.

Why not? Perversion is the spice of life.

In any case, we're still waiting on how skirts suit girl's needs especially well, somehow...

In any case, I definitely like staring at guys.

What needs does a female that has that is fulfilled by wearing a skirt? Said need also cannot be present in males, as you specified female.

There should be a dress code but no uniforms.

Girls can wear skirts if they want but it shouldn't be mandatory.
