Haha @doobat, your Nord has an XBox twin named Oh Nordy. Different beard, but same outfit and hairstyle and color. I’ll screen cap him when I’m on later. Meant to make a big burly Nord dude, gave him sassy eyebrows without realizing because I suck at making dude characters, and went with it. Now he’s one of my favorites.

I mean look at that majestic chest hair.

I would disagree. It is cultural to define a particular garb as made for a particular gender, and that right there means that objectivity has been lost.

I would disagree. As "Objectivity" by itself has some constrains. For instance, it is ineluctably "natural" for a woman to wear clothes that fit her particular forms (like some room for her breasts, thus an opening on the chest if not for a complicated sewing/crafting artwork given a complex 3D shape protruding from the patron), in order to truly feel comfortable. And thus visual designs going along those lines become a characterization of some "natural and orderly beauty", rather than chaotic and unfitting randomness that can hurt: in that sense, starting from the physical comfort criteria is very far from being a "social construct", as it also gives a perceptible meaning or sense to such characterization. Which has nothing to do with a highly subjective feeling of "cultural comfort". For instance, most women felt that wearing corsets in order to "feel" like conforming to their own era's cultural canons (a subjective psychological construct more than anything else), was mere torture. Going forward in time, pants and sportswear, along upper clothes giving more "freedom" to their breasts and less frictions and compression, were specifically designed for active women (along bra support), although at the beginning some cultural construct was against such fashion.

Here are some examples that utterly differ from those images that can be seen in this thread, in that they're more fitting to a man's morphology, however going along the lines of the men fashion that seems to be desired :
