As a Ru Paul’s Drag Race fan, it really gets my goat when people, especially women say “for men to be doing this? They do so much work, even more than women. I admire that.” Women have been making themselves over in very painful and time consuming ways for centuries, and a lot of them didn’t have a choice. Women have been told “beauty is pain” since we were little girls, so I don’t appreciate it when men are praised for choosing to dress themselves up as hyperfeminie characters. Women have never been praised for that unless they conform to every little detail, and if they miss out on one thing, they are punished to the highest degree.
It’s expected of women, but praised in men.
