New York Times: Are Shirt Buttons Sexist?

So I do find this sort of thing interesting. I could see companies retaining the difference in button placement for identification purposes -- given that men's and women's shirts are tailored differently, it potentially benefits consumers (and store employees shelving/inventorying the merch, etc) to be able to tell the difference at a glance. Nothing's stopping women from wearing men's shirts and vice versa in any case, especially if we can overcome any stigma/hesitation about being misgendered by our shirts?

(There are, in fact, companies that manufacture women's shirts with the buttons on the right side, and I've been tempted by a lot of the patterns and colors, but somehow I can't bring myself to buy one. But also trying them on hasn't been an option and I do worry about how/whether they'd fit? I do, admittedly, like and have no qualms about wearing tie-neck blouses -- they're loose fitting and more likely to work -- but they generally don't have front buttons.)
