So...Not sure if I want to play as the girl protagonist...

Right.

So by 'properly,' I mean based on the character's 'identity.' Like I previously stated, I don't have avatars that represent me, but rather create an identity for themselves while having them share traits that are equivalent to my own. In the case of a female lead, I would want her to be a feminine girl, so the statements of 'just dress her like you would dress yourself' or 'put her in whatever you like' aren't very helpful. Again, I'm only going by what has been available in X and Y, but even if the same clothing were available, it would still be difficult for me to find the female equivalent of 'comfort clothing.'

If it's like X and Y then each piece of clothing will have a tag that corresponds to a theme and fanfare animation when you put clothes. In X and Y the female themes were: Basic, Classic, Elegant, Exotic, Feminine, Sporty and Special so you could use those as a starting point. It's not something you should to overthink, after all this is a Pokemon game so the most of the clothes are everyday stuff that people wear regularly, but just keep asking "Do these clothes and their combined aesthetics reflect my character's personality?"

Hmm. I actually never thought of that. Again, these themes might change or not be present in the Sun and Moon games, but after seeing a demonstration of the game (where you can see the stat changes of a pokemon in mid battle, as well as information on the moves themselves, and what moves will be effective against what pokemon), I'm sure that the themes will make a comeback.

So yeah, thanks for the reminder.

So don't. What am I missing here?

Agreed. Women have far more choices, and they can be emotional without being judged. I envy their freedom. Probably one of the reasons men have 3.5 times the suicide rate of women.

Gender expectations are a little fucked up at times, self perpetuating. The more prominent state of mind that thinks "well maybe not man enough to be a man, but surely at least man enough to succeed at death" is telling of the circular societal perceptions mixed with self-esteem issues. It isn't always the way, but it is an unfortunate side-effect.
