I have never been a particularly sensitive or active feminist, but all this drag rubbish on TV is getting to me. How at a time when rightly you could not broadcast in black face or similar is it OK to mock or at best caricature women so ridiculously?

Leaving aside the actual issue, that article is really badly written:

As RuPaul says, we’re born naked and the rest is drag. No one has ever said we’re born naked and the rest is a minstrel show.

To use this as some kind of summing up, or to even consider it a point at all is quite baffling. Quoting a celebrity who is involved in the thing being debated as if they've made some kind of deep observation, only for the writer to (in their own mind) further the logic is just cringe worthy.
