Is there an historical reason why female formal dresses have a huge variety of styles compared to male ones where the only acceptable style is jacket with pants? (lemmy.ml)

Beau Brummel's influence is the reason, though he would have detested the uniformity of it all.

Tap for spoiler

Did they even agree he was a bastard? I vaguely remember this episode. I recall it being pretty tame.

Kind of. A bastard in the sense that he was a major influence to modern men's fashion and fast fashion as a whole, but otherwise he was really a victim of the system that sought a way out and unwittingly contributed to the very same system, not to mention that he was kind of a jerk.
