There's a big difference between everyone being a jerk about something and no one being a jerk about it, though. If the prevailing attitude of the era is one thing, it's going to come across as very strange if that attitude never comes up in a work of fiction and everyone is somehow magically accepting of things that weren't considered to be acceptable by the general societal standards of the time.

Would everyone be scandalized by, say, a woman wearing pants in the Victorian era? Probably not. But would a lot of people? Yes.

On Victorian women wearing pants... It depends on the type of pants and when and why they are being worn. Riding bicycles wouldn't work in a crinoline.

That's not true. It doesn't work well, but that's not the same as not working at all. Some women still wore long skirts with petticoats and a corset while cycling. Others wore bloomers (which aren't really what we think of as "pants", i.e. trousers), which was considered rather scandalous back then and were even banned in some cities. Google and you'll easily find a variety of images showing a variety of dresswear.
