I've seen a lot of people who say something similar. After removing her pants, she was wearing as much as someone in shorts.

To me, removing pants has a lot of connotations. It's not about how much skin is showing, per se, it's about a sexual more that's pretty heavily enforced. Taking off your pants, showing your underwear, is a private act that requires consent.

If Rosen was male, I think it might be intuitively clearer. Removing a sweatshirt is socially acceptable, but removing pants isn't. I don't want to see strangers' underwear, regardless of how concealing/revealing it might be.

I think Rosen's actions later, humping Mark and making faces at him, further indicates that this was not a harmless act. Rosen hadn't gotten too warm, she wanted to upset societal norms. Or sexually harass someone.
