You are getting it all wrong. The reason for this is the companions, the female companions. Most male players naturally pick up female followers. And they are the ones that we have to look at all trhoughout the game, so naturally the demand for nice looking female armor rises. Easy as that. I play a male orc and could not care less about my own appearance, but the female follower has to look her best, of course... :D Here is how my wife looks, http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/images/11882-1-1331184413.jpg :D

Personally I would recommend you to edit an existing npc, if that is not what you have been doing already. It is much easiser that way and there are tons of existing npc:s to choose from. All you need to do, after okaying your changes to an existing npc, is highlight their name in the list and press Ctrl+F4, which should create a folder in your textures directory with updated face gen data.

I'm having the exact same problem. Here is the post I made on another forums about it: I would also appreciate any help on this! Your itemID is too long, psyoldtrissleather... - too many characters.

Have you removed the followers starting weapon equipment? The only way I can think of to recreate your problem, is to fire up the editor, edit a npc by deleting whatever weapons they start with. Such a plugin would probably make the npc behave as you have described. I hope that helps. Clarfication: Removing a npc:s starting weapon ingame has of course no effect, it is a npc who starts with no weapons at all that behave in the manner that you have described.
