I see it from a different viewpoint. In my opinion, the 'fact' at work here is not so much that our thighs are abnormally huge, but that most clothing manufacturers seem to cater more to young slender women in their late teens and their 20's with slender (or no) hips, and slender thighs. They buy clothes more frequently than any other age group.
Truly not much out there for women with muscular thighs, calves, OR wide hips, unless you go to a specialized source, often sport-oriented. When I try on off-the-rack clothes that fit my thighs or hips, often the item is just too large overall and has a gigantic waist. I have settled for wearing stretch leggings/capris/tights with and without skirts.
