Hair metal was a bit gender subversive in that it had masculine men donning make-up, long hair, fishnets, tight leather etc. But it was still a male supremacist scene to the extreme, except for Lita Ford I can't name one hair metal star who was a woman. Plus hair metal videos had all kinds of objectification and physical abuse of women. In fact the only more misogynist music scene I could think of in (gangsta) rap/hip-hop.
