This is probably the weirdest thing I've ever had to report as a bug. Let me explain.
It is to be somewhat expected that if a female Sim wears masculine pants, some weird stuff is gonna happen in the crotch area.
But this isn't just with masculine pants. It happens with only certain pairs of pants, which is stupid annoying. It's usually the best ones, too.
From what I can tell, it's an issue with the placement of the pants. High-waist jeans and such don't have this issue, but lower, regular heights do, which makes this 10x more frustrating. But weirdly enough, low-waists don't have this issue either.
This doesn't happen, or happens more minorly, to base game items. However I have also noticed that there is still weird model problems.
I'd love to see a fix for this. Originally I thought it was a CC or mod issue. Alas, it is not. I turned them all off, deleted some mods specifically and no - this is a base game problem.

I think it is just with masculine pants. The height placement of the pants isn't causing the problem; it's that most high-waist and low-rise pants in the game were built for a female frame originally. Of the six pants in your example pictures, five were built for a male frame. The pants from Cottage Living are originally for female frames so they look correct.
I think at some point they said they were going back to try and make adjustments to gender converted items to make them look better. I don't know if that's still an ongoing process or not, but it would be great if they'd make further improvements.
