I just went to the thrift store last month for clothes. And this is absolutely correct. The entire store was huge, and then there's two racks for men lol.

Something interesting I noticed is most of the men's clothes are nice shirts. Button downs, dress shirts, polos, all sorts of different fabrics, there was even a wedding shirt in there. Not a lot of tshirts, unless they're made of something different.

My theory is the men's clothes that ends up in thrift stores are the nice clothes given to them as gifts, or the wife found it and added it to her bag of clothes to donate.
