Can Muslim women who refuse to wear hijab wear men’s clothing instead?

Ibn Abbas said that “the Prophet cursed the men who appear like women and the women who appear like men” (Bukhari). Cross-dressing is strictly not allowed in Muslim societies. In addition, Muslim women cannot dress the same way as unbelievers.
