If you don’t think a man dressing as an over the top woman is blurring boundaries, I don’t know what to tell you. |
My liberal neighbors in Montgomery County will never miss a chance to push their politics down your throat. And post about it on Facebook to show how ‘progressive’ they are. In reality, they are some of the most intolerant hypocrites I know. Their politics are so much a part of their identity that they can’t even comprehend nuance or opposing views. It’s definitely a bit like a cult. |
Yet you continue to be obtuse. |
Do you really not know? You can google it. Drag is a performance, like spiderman, or elsa, or clowning |
Yes and my son is so confused if men can really spin webs after a Spiderman was at a birthday party, or are rabbits really in hats after seeing a clown. Kids are so confused stop all the characters, save our children. |
| Shouldn't this be in the Entertainment topic forum? |
| Are women allowed to cancel drag queens for cultural appropriation? |
So then you really mean blurring boundaries of gender? |
No, they're lower in the hierarchy without a little intersectionality thrown in. It's a clever move by some of these men. |
...or exotic dancing, or striptease. |
No. Most ‘progressive’ liberals have a very high tolerance for misogyny. |
Except no one will try to implant spider web makers into your son’s wrists if he says he’s spider man. But if he says he’s actually a girl instead of a boy, there are people happy to transition him. |
No one has explained how drag shows where performers dance to Cher, Beyonce, and Dolly is misogyny. Saying it is isn't evidence or an argument. Keep in mine drag queens love these performers because they are naturally over the top feminine. Does that mean Dolly, Cher, and Bey are also misogynists and unworthy of feminist consideration? Or--is it maybe juat people using feminism in the most venal way possible as a cloak for their bigotry? |

+1 Agree. But I would go a step further and argue that drag queens are not just males performing femininity, but they are males pantomiming female sexuality. That is what drag queens do, and that is what drag performance is all about. Their personas don't exist in a benign non-sexualized context like a Disney princess. Drag Queens have always blurred the lines between what is and is not acceptable. And DQSH is now blurring boundaries between adult entertainment and child entertainment, between traditionally adult sexual themes and "family-friendly". Teaching your kids that Drag Queens (adult males who perform female sexuality) are for children is very much desensitizing your kids to appropriate boundaries and behavior regarding sex. And your child can't consent. |
