To be fair, it’s her thigh skin.

This remind me of a cat's primordial pouch which is the fluffy part of the kitty belly that humans like to rub (and may or may not be a trap), and extra-pervy cat enthusiasts get addicted to huffing (see CAT HUFFING). It's not a secondary sexual characteristic. Both sexes have it, and it seems to have evolved to assist faster running according to felinologists.

And yes, when hairless (say if a cat overgroomed its nethers) they definitely look NSFW when they dangle during standing and walking.

Wait, I thought it was to protect their belly when they fight

As I'm not a felinologist, I can't say you're necessarily wrong. Traits that evolve often serve multiple advantages.
