In the 80's was it common to confuse all the men with women?

My wife (now ex) bought me my first thong swimwear in the 80s. I doubt anyone confused me for a woman. I still wear thongs to the beach when it's illegal to go nude.

All the hair bands shopped at Lane Bryant

No, but I wasn't aware it is common now, either!

Today they're confused themselves.

Only in hair metal bands

The men had better makeup 💄
