Most women's "man-tailored" shirts (good call, bemocked) do not have the button down option, for precisely the reason below. Many "man-tailored" garments for women do have various, now vestigial components that did have an original purpose, but have since become design elements soley indicating a sense of masculinity. Lapels on women's jackets, for instance, are no longer intended to be buttoned across the chest in case of inclement weather. Welt pockets are decorative rather than functional, etc. etc. So no purpose other than style, no.
