Drag Queenery is a mockery of the Natural female form and beauty. It is an exaggeration that is just as offensive as “Black face” is to people of color. It shows how hateful gay men are concerning how they feel about women.

Gay men (usually) don't hate women. "Drag Queenery" is not meant as a mockery as is blackface.
I hope this helps, and that you get a life. Ciao~ ^_^
What mockery? It's not like transgendered (not gay, transgendered; they COULD be gay but that doesn't make the two anywhere near synonymous) people are putting on dresses and saying "look how stupid women are". They simply identify as female. And really, given that men used to wear the equivalent of dresses, I don't see what the big deal is. Jesus wore a dress.The Pope STILL wears a dress. They just don't conform to our completely arbitrary fashion norms. It's not like they're killing people, robbing people, or even calling people names. You couldn't POSSIBLY find a more harmless thing to pick on or a more harmless group of people to make a villain of unless you made Pope Francis into a bad guy. Oh wait, you did THAT, too.
'Not all crossdressers are gay'
Crossdressing does not equal drag queendom.
Wow... you're not even in the same solar system as the truth, now. Drag is about as much a blackface-type mockery of women as Seven Samurai was a mockery of ronin- which is to say, I hope someday someone mocks me like that; it'd be incredibly flattering!
So, dressing up to the nines is mockery now? Are proms, beauty-pageants and ice-dancing also mockeries of the Natural female form and beauty? (OK, beauty-pageants ARE rather mocking.) Perhaps a bikini is more your style, Gracie; then you see only the Natural female form and beauty.
You do know that for several hundred years men played all the female parts in theaters, right?
Most of the women-hating seems to come from insecure boys in straight male bodies...
Ironically, I've heard exactly the same argument from radfems.
I don't see why society now condones women wearing what were traditionally seen as mens clothes, but still frowns on men wearing dresses.
@werewolf:
Drag queens are (usually) gay, and tend to dress as over-the-top "glam" (aka "fishy") or "clown" imitations of women. See RuPaul & Lady Bunny for examples of each.
I'd argue that drag queenery doesn't even attempt to imitate natural feminine beauty, it attempts to imitates dressing up to the nines.
Natural feminine beauty would be without the make-up, without the glamorous dresses.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
