Most modern pants aren't waist-high, and the ones that are are almost always aimed at women (called "high-rise" pants). Most pants rest on top of the hips. I (woman with wide hips) usually wear men's pants and the waist thing is a non-issue. The only issue is that the longer crotch area bunches up when you sit down.

Depends on the shape of your hips. I wore men's pants almost exclusively until my hips changed a lot during pregnancy and I haven't been able to find a comfy pair of men's pants since (and I'm far from the only woman I know with this problem). Glad it works for you, though! The huge pockets are so nice and the fabric is usually sturdier, too.

Oh, I'm sure it does, plus whatever pants you happen to try. I wear men's athletic pants most of the time these days. Women's versions are mostly all tight in the crotch and I've never been a big fan of fabric crushing my vulva.
