Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Society has historically been more accepting of women wearing men's clothing, making it less necessary for them to engage in transvestism in order to express themselves. This societal acceptance also means that women have more opportunities to explore their fashion choices without being judged or marginalized. Therefore, transvestism is seemingly rare among women.
