I think this song is partially a tribute to Prince and his crowd who were also on the scene in MN at the time ("same hair, REVOLUTION"?). Anybody who has seen Purple Rain knows that, in terms of dress, there's not much to seperate the guys and girls in that movie.
And, I was only born in 1981, but I get the sense that in the 80s it was much more of a fad for people to dress androgynously. I think we've actually regressed since then to become less accepting of this.
