Are you seriously comparing clothing and makeup to skin color and ethnicity my guy?
Blackface demonizes/makes fun of being black. Drag does not demonize femininity; quite the opposite actually. Your logic doesn't logic.
Considering you post a lot of porn of women with objectifying remarks all over your profile, it's unsurprising you have misogynistic views... at least keep them to yourself man.
in some ways, drag does reduce a woman's identity to just the clothes she wears and some makeup. he's not completely wrong.
No. He is completely wrong. Drag isn't "reducing a woman's identity" to anything, because femininity isn't a woman's identity. People who do drag aren't pretending to be women. Drag partially exists to blur gender lines and challenge our perceptions of gender, and mostly exists because many people feel affirmed by femininity and are most comfortable when they're participating in what we see as feminine culture.
Cultural perceptions of femininity aren't equivalent to womanhood. Femininity does not "belong" to women and masculinity does not "belong" to men. Imagine how insane it would be if we called women wearing pants and other clothes that used to be associated with men "blackface for men" lol.
you have a point.
Not at all. Drag does not mock women. Guarantee you're a dude.
