Why aren't drag queens offensive to women?
So
- women are a marginalized group
- drag queens mock feminitiy and use a stereotipical portrayal of womanhood
Why isn't it seen as an offensive behaviour then?

Lies spotted.
Drag idolises and celebrates femininity.

Because they aren't.
Why do you want to be offended?

I'm sure if you went to Tumblr, you'll find a lot of people complaining about them.

Some feminists wrote critiques on drag.

Drag queens aren't mocking women
They mock what society tells us women and men should be
Most drag queens are comedians first and foremost
I think you're missing the point lol

I think having your knob lobbed off in exchange for an open wound and wanting to be known as a "real woman" is mocking women, not drag acts.

The history of blackface is very different, so they can't be compared. Blackface was historically used to ridicule and belittle black people.
