"Ahhh, I think I get it now. Because the drag queen performs as a woman ( even though they arent a woman), that is, they look at women, see how they behave, and think ( incorrectly) " if I just do the things they do, walk the way they walk and talk the way they talk,except do it even more exaggerated, then I will be a woman !!". because drag queen is "performance" then all women must be also performing?" Yes you got it! All gender is PERFORMANCE, hence the name of the theory! I would just make clear that drag queens don't become "real" women (because all gender is performance, there is NO real woman to become, only various performance of "woman"). So, homework: try to provide the one empirical "Woman" test that (A) A drag queen would inevitably fail, AND (B) every "true" woman would inevitably pass. It has to be one test that can be done empirically that gives a binary answer (yes or no. No "maybes") If you can't come up with such a test, explain how something can be "real" yet empirically indeterminable. (Explain the alternative way "reality" can be determined, hopefully without using magical concepts like God, deity, mother nature, "a reasonable person", etc.) (Hints: It can't be "has a penis" because some drag queens don't have one. It can't "bear a child" because some women can't do that. It can't "superior application of make-up" because alas, some drag queens do struggle with that.) |
