Although, I find it kinda funny that women can get away, so to say, with wearing men's clothing, but men cannot get away with wearing women's.<br /><br />So much for arguing that their is a prejudice against women. There is DEFINITELY a certain prejudice against men, here...Anna Aldersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204136671300525263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847686301974739121.post-89476236725698237252009-04-23T08:25:00.000-07:002009-04-23T08:25:00.000-07:00I think that guys doing girl stuff can be used to ...I think that guys doing girl stuff can be used to attract attention at functions like fund raisers because it is not the norm. It is not abnormal and it's more socially accepted for women to wear men's clothing, therefore, it would not attract as much attention. If a woman is wearing men's clothing, she is labeled as a tomboy, not as odd or freakish. However, if a man is wearing women's clothing, he is not given that leniency.emileigh18https://www.blogger.com/profile/15632704653991962424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847686301974739121.post-42317680689611689652009-04-22T10:57:00.000-07:002009-04-22T10:57:00.000-07:00You make a very good point about where drag queens...You make a very good point about where drag queens are more accepted. I definitely agree that drag can only be taken in a certain light. <br /><br />Also, you end by saying that men may never be "allowed" to wear women's clothes. What about women wearing mens? I don't think it would be a bad thing (if at all) in that situation. There are always those funny fundraisers where guys do girl stuff, but not really girls doing guy stuff, just because it isn't as entertaining. What do you think?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551631107760892914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847686301974739121.post-79150960790468937362009-04-22T06:12:00.000-07:002009-04-22T06:12:00.000-07:00It's far from either/or as far as drag (or anythin...It's far from either/or as far as drag (or anything) goes. Drag is in degrees - and there are those (was it Chris from Project Runway who designed big outfits?) who are completely over the top right next to those similar to your first picture.<br /><br />As far as calling queens he or she, it's always based on the preference of the individual. If a person is transgender, you call them by whatever gender they identify. However, drag queens are, to my knowledge, not automatically "she." There are many drag queens who are straight, and I'm sure would not like to be called by the opposite gender.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331961951316180787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847686301974739121.post-9045222287745809372009-04-17T21:31:00.000-07:002009-04-17T21:31:00.000-07:00oh I'm sure there can be.

So, yeah, it's definitely possible.Anna Aldersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204136671300525263noreply@blogger.com
