The first person looks like they are applying makeup akin to EMO style.
The second ...did no one tell her women aren't Drag Queens because well, that is illogical? Outside the definition. Incorrect answer ma'am. Are we going to see Drag Queens firing back now?
What is wrong with people, seriously can't take it anymore.
Are we now witnessing the results of the dumbing down of humanity through sub par education systems resulting in far too few firing neurons rendering these people unable to even sense their ridiculous behaviour?
I know the above is a shallow response/interpretation; there are complexities and nuance, I'm recovering from surgery so too many words are hard ;0)
Too many people apparently have nothing of significance to do. I'm familiar with this in males -- it's overwhelming! how else do they have time for porn and fetishism? -- but some women also seem to suffer from this affliction. I can only hope they don't have children or four-leggeds they are ignoring.
I’m a GenX woman who was kept away from commercial television and groomed for university until puberty, when I was illegally thrown out of society by my birth mother and her white supremacist mother via a racist fraternal organization they were members of (I’m suing them now in California). Television has a hypnotic effect on people, and nowadays computers with little portable screens and personalized advertising, etc. which are controlled by rapacious profiteers are having their obviously detrimental (to society at large) psychological and financial effects. I’m certainly not happy about having my chance of competing for and potentially winning a scholarship to my dad’s alma mater taken away by people who participate in the group narcissism of white supremacy, but I’m glad I can think for myself! Turns out that people my age were being exposed to a lot of slick commercial messaging, as in 2002 I read an article that referred to a psychological survey or study that found that GenX-ers were much more brand-identified than the previous generation, and the researchers’ conclusion was that it was due to exposure to commercial messaging. My employer at the time was born in the same year as I was, and in addition to broadcast, his family had cable television. It helped me understand what was so different between us, and helped me get along better with him as an employee, which I’m thankful for! The dumbing down is very real. My (former) employer is now hooked on high definition, too. It’s like the stuff on screen is more real to people than anything else, and I sure cannot see how that could be good for the population, only the rapacious capitalists. Many European countries do not allow direct advertising to children under the age of twelve, but not this child-sacrificing nation. I consider advertising to be mind rape, and avoid it like the plague it is. I’ll bet keeping a child away from television would be considered child abuse now! Thankfully, I’m not a materialist, so just because I’m not allowed to apply my intellect in the economy and “educational” system, doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile. Please don’t let anyone reduce your consciousness to the byproduct of a bag of organic chemicals! 🤣 That’s the result of this dumbing down, IMO. It’s now easier for commercial exploiters to take money than the nefarious representatives of organized, man-made religions. Beware! The materialistic priesthood that calls itself “Science” is now reinventing the “God and angels” of patriarchal dominators, and calling them “aliens.” No one need believe that these visitors are little scientists in nuts-and-bolts spaceships. It’s just the modern patriarchal priesthood, and it works on so many people because of the dumbing down and programming of the population using machines and imagery from early childhood. On a more upbeat note, I hope your recovery from surgery is going well! ☮️❤️🐾
Snap. I'm genx as well and also grew up without television!!! I always likened it to not enjoying the taste of milk if you didn't grow up drinking it, same for me with television.
My children felt "weird" that we didn't have a t.v., I bought one of those Apple TV dongles although iirc it didn't work very well, I tried though :0)
Agree to all you've said above; my thoughts reflect much of it.
Yes, recovery is going well, I'm just unbelievably tired, just waiting for things to regulate!
*** you are correct about the direct advertising and children
Why are they acting like drag queen is an identity? It's a job.
I think that young women, being uneducated in feminism (there is no feminism where you can't even define woman) in this increasingly internet misogyny-bathed culture, are so sadly ensconced in patriarchy that they believe it's the good and kind thing to defend men from the encroachment of evil fascist feminists. "trans" is really pushed as a victim right now, you hear so often that trans are at risk and trans face violence and you don't hear as much about the constant, unending, way more important (!!!) amount of violence that women have to endure. And for us it's not even a result of mental illness that we could choose to hide, but a body that defines us as women.
I was actually a comedy. The male lead found himself falling in love with her and exposed the fact she was impersonating a female impersonator. A highlight was when she sang the high note that shatters glass.
Yes. It was cute and funny. Big-headed, handsome Robert Preston in drag is a sight not to be missed. And Ex-footballer Alex Karas was a hoot. Also the American version of La Cage Aux Folles, entitled The Birdcage was good, too. Gene Hackman in drag...I'll say no more.
(Good description of Robert Preston and the movie, BTW). The Birdcage was the movie after which I asked myself, “Are they mocking women by performing this act?” I didn’t find drag funny at all after seeing (and laughing to!) that movie. I guess I saw the Womanface without having had it specifically pointed out by a radical feminist! Not long thereafter, I realized that I am a radical feminist.
Yes, but really it's just Gay men having fun in their own environment. The original French movie was very heart-warming and funny. I love our Gay brothers--just not the pedos who perform grown-up stuff in front of children. Totally inappropriate. I have been to Drag Queen shows, and two Drag King shows. Adults only!! Mostly lip-syncing to old songs, Broadway tunes, etc.
And they love Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Barbara Streisand. I have no problem with that, live and let live. They are playing it for laughs. These new ones though, belong in jail.
I agree. Just as women don't want men in our spaces, Gay men have a right to their spaces. Just keep a lid on it, boys. Women and children don't need to see sex stuff.
Haha my home state, my Alma mater UT Knoxville. I've got friends freaking out over this, old friends who are "allies." Damn Tennessee whenever you make the world news you manage to make me proud and make me cringe.
Has the intelligence level of humanity gone down by dozens of points or something? I’m shocked at how stupid these women are. I want to move to another planet.
As an early grade teacher in the NYC public schools for 17 years (rated "Highly Effective" in their ridiculous checklists) I can tell you teachers are so pressured about reading levels, writing scores (yup, 5 points for punctuation, 3 points for upper case at the start of sentences, in Kindergarten, for real!) and math skills that actual science is given short shrift. Why would any teacher promote this non-science?
And of course those reading levels do not include COMPREHENSION, as I am finding more and more adults have extremely poor reading comprehension. They often cannot even read comments and busily misinterpret what other people have to say.
This idiot needs to stop putting on makeup and take some remedial English lessons.
What I force myself to remember is that most people are very stupid, and that demographic unfortunately includes many women. Overall, women are smarter than men, but that still leaves plenty of room for female morons.
“Celebrate our feminism just like drag queens..”
What?!
It’s like “celebrate black culture just like minstrel performers.”
Exactly!
Excellent!
Call me old fashioned...

Yeah, nah. I won't be going about my daily life dressed as a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.
Did anybody see the film from long ago with Julie Andrews, called Victor, Victoria?
I recall it but did not go to see it. I expected it to be emotionally wrenching in some way.
I was actually a comedy. The male lead found himself falling in love with her and exposed the fact she was impersonating a female impersonator. A highlight was when she sang the high note that shatters glass.
Thanks, Ute.
Not at all. Catch it if you can.
Yes. It was cute and funny. Big-headed, handsome Robert Preston in drag is a sight not to be missed. And Ex-footballer Alex Karas was a hoot. Also the American version of La Cage Aux Folles, entitled The Birdcage was good, too. Gene Hackman in drag...I'll say no more.

It should have stayed in their environment!
I agree. Just as women don't want men in our spaces, Gay men have a right to their spaces. Just keep a lid on it, boys. Women and children don't need to see sex stuff.
Or pantomime. Really, really not the same thing but they're trying to use it as cover. Monty Python is not drag queen story hour either.
I love drag for that reason- it’s so theatrical and campy and I’m a sucker for show tunes. But young children should not be a part of it-
My favorite movie! Really probably mostly because Julie Andrews is so hot in a tux!! There's also a sweet gay male relationship sub-plot.
And excellent choreography. Several of Shakespeare's comedies involve gender-bending. The human condition---it's to laugh.
We don't want to shut you out of your kweer safe spaces, we want you to stay in them & stay out of children's safe spaces
the narcissism is to try to colonize every social space and then call them their queer safe space.
That would be one hell of a victory!
Haha my home state, my Alma mater UT Knoxville. I've got friends freaking out over this, old friends who are "allies." Damn Tennessee whenever you make the world news you manage to make me proud and make me cringe.
So she's admitting that troons going about their lives are indistinguable from drag queens?
WHAT A GOOD POINT.
Has the intelligence level of humanity gone down by dozens of points or something? I’m shocked at how stupid these women are. I want to move to another planet.
People's brains have been shrinking for 10,000 years, and I think they have been shrinking exponentially in the past 50.

yes social media readers constantly misread what i said not what they thought i would say.
GLSSEN TABLE IN BACKGROUND YES? Paid to fight it- just like the gavin grimm- use a real woman to make it all seem platonic. Pawns.
Yet again TRAs show that they don't understand irony. They don't do logical thinking either.
This idiot needs to stop putting on makeup and take some remedial English lessons.
What I force myself to remember is that most people are very stupid, and that demographic unfortunately includes many women. Overall, women are smarter than men, but that still leaves plenty of room for female morons.
They're either being deliberately obtuse or are unclear on the concept.
Deliberately obtuse.
Because no one can be that fucking dumb!
The last one was just lazy.
When your safe space is twerking infront of minors… 😭🤣
