Why is women's clothing sizing so arbitrary?

When a man shops for pants, sizes are given by waist measurement and inseam. When a woman shops for pants, sizes are given by arbitrarily assigned numbers. When a man shops for dress shirts, he must know his neck diameter, arm length, and chest size. When a woman shops for blouses, she is confronted with arbitrarily assigned letters. This really pisses the hell out of me.
Why is this??? Vanity sizing, really? Do retailers and manufacturers think women are idiots?
