Drag Show Misogyny

Let me be clear here. In no way is this notice direced at homosexuals, or transgender males or females. I'm talking about "drag queens," you know the ones I'm talking about. The men who put on a bunch of sequins and clown makeup, complete with giant high heels and lipstick outside the lines of their lips, who prance around on a stage, usually lipsyncing. The men who do this and refer to themselves as "divas." The men who are actually trying to convince themselves that doing these things is "lady-like." I'm also talking in very general terms. I know there are exceptions to the rule. There are people in drag out there who perform, and it's their personal statement about overcoming often overwhelming obstacles to survive, let alone maintain a sense of humor.

The drag queens I am talking about are the ones who deeply, completely abhor everything about women, and prove it by dressing up as caricature of "glamour" and "feminity."

Well they can all suck my ass.

Is that what drag queens think actual women are like? What a fucking insult. Who the fuck do they think they are?

Go act like a tyrannical cunt of your OWN gender, douchebag. Don't bring me into it, and don't bring every woman who has ever lived into your petty fucking hard-times reactionary brand of asshole-ism. And don't you fucking DARE call it entertainment. It's akin to getting dressed up in black-face and doing "Mammy" jokes. One could argue that it's worse. America has abolished slavery, but Americans are still permitted to be openly hateful toward members of their own species. Being sexist is actually considered FUNNY. Really. You can pay to go see a drag show. Is drag-based misogyny legal because being a drag queen is mostly a hobby confined to homosexuals? Of course not. The government is openly against homosexuality. That means we have to face the question: is it legal because it's okay to marginalize and generalize and completely demoralize women? Apparently, it is (see: Family Guy, Beavis and Butthead, The Simpsons, every fashion magazine that exists, et al.).

Yes, dressing up like a gittery, viperous psycho and calling yourself a "lady" is THAT offensive. It's as bad as the "N-word." But nobody else wants to say anything lest they be duped a "gay-basher." Nothing could be farther from the truth. I have nothing against anyone for what he or she does with his or her genitals, or whatever gender anyone feels they are. I feel deeply for people who were born in the wrong body, and I think that corrective surgery and hormone therapy for those people is necessary and wonderful. But if you think you're doing anyone any good when all you're going to do is dress up like a clown and lipsync, then go give blowjobs in the bathroom, don't you DARE call yourself a woman. That is not what women do. It is not how women act. Maybe it's how your mom acts, but that is not my problem, and I am not your mother.

Neither is anyone else on the planet, so stop acting like we are the reason you grew up to be a miserable fuck. You need to stop hating all women because your mommy jerked you off and you never got over it. Nobody cares about what happened to turn you into a hateful beast. Nobody. And no amount of back-alley ass-rapes is going to make you any happier, or make anyone glad that you're on the planet. If you want to be a woman, do some research before you go running for the sequins and yelling, "FAAABULOUS" every time you see something shiny.

There's nothing funny about your ignorant, obnoxious, hateful send-ups of women. Unless, somewhere in your act, you perform an actual gender reassignment surgery on yourself, and make it so you menstruate. Go through just ONE painful period, and tell me how funny it is to be a woman. Try to button your pants when you're retaining water. Afterwards, you can call me "honey" and give me unsolicited fashion advice, then glare at me when I tell you, "Thanks, but I'm perfectly happy how I am."

You get up on that stage and personify hate. You make me wish I was dead, even more than I usually do. You haven't earned the right. Go wave your hideous, manly Lee press-on nailed talon in somebody else's face. If you thought of women as human at all, you'd take the time to understand that even being in the audience of such a show is to feel completely persecuted and hated for something we had no say in.

Sound familiar? Not being able to control what gender one is born is universal, and none of us have the right to mock someone for being born one way or another.

Let it sink in that a straight woman just said that. It goes both way, shit-bag. Got it?

You are not a woman, and when you do your little act, your are hurting women everywhere, sending civil rights (yes, you are discriminating) back to the iron age. You aren't dressing up and acting like an actual WOMAN. You are dressing up and acting like an ASSHOLE. Not all women are the bitchy, shrill psychopathic whores, or innocent little school girls you seem to think we are. Most of us in no way deserve the kind of spiteful treatment you give us on stage. Any woman in the audience can tell you how it feels to be the target of such complete and total active hatred that you are sending her way.

If you want to see what it's like to be a woman, do it realistically. Otherwise, you're just another stone on the path to back-alley abortions and no votes for women. Women STILL don't get paid as much as men in the same jobs. We're not out of the woods as far as equal rights go, and you are doing your part in making sure that equality never happens.

Try having just ONE painful period, and then maybe you will have earned the right to make a joke about "being on the rag." Or feeling disgust when someone mentions the word "tampon."

Attending a drag show as a straight woman is similar to being the only Asian person at a White Supremacist rally.

So shut up. You don't have any idea what you're talking about.

You miserable, ignorant, misogynist fuck.
