RuPaul: ‘Drag is a big f-you to male-dominated culture’
A mix of high camp and compassion has made RuPaul’s Drag Race a TV hit. But beneath the wigs and corsets, the lip-syncing showgirls have a radical message

What...? Drag is male-dominated.
Does he mean hyper-masculine culture?

I though R1s were supposed to be bitchy, not dense.

Yawn, this Rupaul is such a self congratulatory asshole. I promise you that anything that truly is a threat to patriarchal culture will not be celebrated. Powerful straight men will tear it to shreds.

We've discussed this article a bit in the show's official thread as well, if anyone's interested.

Sure. Painting on Woman Face and mocking female mannerisms is so subversive.
One day this shit will be reconized for the minstrel show it actually is.

Because white people putting on blackface is exactly the same as a bunch of homos dressing up as women, right? Christ, you're thick.

^ Not exactly the same, but on the spectrum.

Drag is annoying.

Male-dominated? Well in the sense that anything that is socially a 'f-you' is, I guess.
Masculinity-dominated? Yes.
But men are doing this and men rule it and men support it, even if not the majority of men. Its still men.
