Doing Women Wrong?

Men dressing as women are dressing down. Masters making fun of slaves, or at most making fun of themselves, do not equal slaves poking fun at masters. Humor is what masters get in addition to power, and what slaves get instead of it.

All this privilege and mastering and yet I still make my own god-damn sandwiches. You'd think my slaves would be less useless!

This is like getting mad at gay men for stealing a straight woman's sexual orientation.

It just doesn't make any fucking sense.

Yeah, because men who dress as women are never made fun of or put down in any way. No, sir.

Put it this way: If there’s no such thing as “woman,” who is being paid 73 cents on the dollar? It’s not men in drag, I assure you.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'M OUTRAGED ABOUT AN UNTRUE "FACT"

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

My god. Is this person serious? I don't even know what to say. This is just plain stupid.

Are you fucking kidding me? This cannot be serious.

This article is full of bull. Drag isn't intended to be oppressive or degrading; it's intended to be extremely liberating for the performers. Many of them are genuinely funny people; a drag queen once explained it to me as a defensive mechanism... if you've got a sharp wit, and everyone is laughing with you, then no one is laughing at you.

If a man dressed as a woman is "offensive", then a woman dressed as a man is... what?

If they're this hard up for shit to complain about, you'd think this would be a celebratory piece.

How it works:

Women dressing as men - Extremely mainstream.
Men dressing as women - Extremely offensive?
