As sweeping a generalisation as I've ever read.
Certainly in the tourist centres such as Agadir, the 'idiosyncratic' dress and behaviour of many westerners is tolerated, but not necessarily approved of.. The tourist dirham is king.
In many other areas this is not the case. Females not dressed to the varying degrees of modesty decided by a bunch of unemployed usually young men can often experience verbal abuse. It's still a prevalent practise for Maroc men not to address a women directly. I think people are sometimes apt to mistake "Respect' for 'Disregard' or even 'Patronise' in this context.
Anyway my missus regards Maroc intrinsically as a mans world and nowadays refuses to make the necessary concessions. Nor will she accept being treated in anyway that matters to her, from that of an hombre. So these days I go to Tanger just for few days sadly as a foot passenger to visit amigos. But I can see it from her point of view.
