They were. The 50s crusade against indecency was the first time stuff like that started to seem unusual; before, people never thought about homosexuality at all, so there was nothing wrong with little boys wearing dresses or guys being super touchy with each other. It was an era before no homo.

Then Seduction of the Innocent hits store shelves and suddenly everyone thinks of Batman like this.

Children's clothing (pink/blue, dresses/pants) and toys didn't become a thing until the 70's due to Madison ave type ad agencies grunt-working for big corporations. It wasn't a rallying cry against indecency, it was "how to do we create a sustainable, reliable, segmented market to sell more shirts/toys/shoes/hats".

Yo!
I grew up with warnings like this all the time. Like, you'd get a flyer in your mailbox from the local police every other year.

Yo!
Last year my kid wanted to be Batman ('66, because he watches Scooby Doo) and insisted I be Robin.

Wearing pantyhose on Halloween sucks.
