Things are changing. Strange times. Midst Pandemic. Horrific events in the USA. people are 'waking' up to oppression and inappropriateness within comedy.
If it is no longer seen as acceptable to wear any kind of black costume, seen in LB, LOG, Ant & Dec, surely it is time that a sensible debate could be had on Drag. Is it acceptable? Is it not a mockery of female features for comedy in the same way original blackface was?
If not, why not?

of more concern to me is why women aren't allowed to be offended by misogynistic lyrics in rap and grime music.

We can be and it should be regarded in the same way as racist lyrics if we want proper equality.

I would like an equal right for people to offend others however and more freedom to do comedy sketches and the like and for Governments of all parties to be sweeping away censorship laws and trying to move us to a country which is more free.
