I’d always heard it was the opposite. Women had help to get dressed so the buttons were positioned to make it easier for someone else but men had to do it themselves.
Yeah this jives with what I remembered. And the images of a person pulling strings on a corset usually with a foot in her back for leverage. When you need another person and mechanical advantage to put on a garment, something is wrong somewhere.
Wasnt it so that it was easier for the woman to do up the man’s buttons for them?
Beside real men don’t button their own clothes.

Women’s clothing also tends to have fasteners in the back. Corsets, bras, dresses, etc. Not a woman but I have undone my fair share of garments.

Oh my god. Yeah, that sounded better in my head. Leaving it for posterity but I swear I’m not that guy.
If you want to sound like a creep, just add the word “Ladies” to the end of things that you say.
The article suggests that women had more complicated garb that required support staff.
