I’m happy to report I’ve never found drag even slightly interesting or entertaining, and always disturbing. Matt Walsh has focused me on why this is. I agree with him: Drag is to women what blackface is to black people. It’s a demeaning lampooning of womanhood. Libs are cool with it, though, because they’re game for anything that upends societal norms

I never thought of it that way before.

But you are right. The analogy to blackface fits as well.

Very insightful comment.

It does bring up the question, what would happen if there were a drag queen in blackface.

Thank you for your post! As a woman, I have felt offended by the drag queen community. They think they make better women or something? After women have fought for equality just to be made a mockery of by men in the drag and the male athletes pretending to female in order to compete against women, it makes me sick to my stomach.

...societal norms

Norms = normal...a new “N” word because it triggers those who are NOT.
