OK, I am kinda outing myself a bit here in this, but last night I was just talking about Ru putting kings of Drag Race and why it might work or not. As to why I think this would be fun is RollerCon. Each year I go and one of the annual parties kinda died off and they replaced it two years ago with a drag kings show…

Cosplay communities essentially have a lot of straight women convincingly dressing as male characters. In part, this is because a lot of Asian male characters have pretty feminine characteristics by American standards, but even masculine male characters can get played by women with results that I personally find a lot…

Please see landon cider preform before you call Kings “boring,” fellow commenters! He is one of my fav acts ever.

Ru, for all his talk, rewards a very narrow interpretation of queen. Even queens like Sasha and Sharon are anomalous as winners. Michelle seems to judge along similar lines, though she tours with the queens and has a better familiarity with their art.

Agree 100%. I also think part of the reason drag kings get overlooked is that it’s often cis-women performing it.

I’m not sure they do leave their male privilege behind - at the end of the night they can take off their womanface and go home. And unless they’re naturally flamboyant or femme when they’re out of character, they can travel home a lot more safely than the women in the audience. I’ve never understood how feminist blogs…

I’ve always preferred drag kings to drag queens. I think society is more comfortable with seeing femininity as performative, but turning a spotlight on masculinity and making it performative can make people uncomfortable - it forces people to question how much of masculinity is innate “being a real men” and how much…

There it is, just for you: “Lesbian identities have always been sidelined...we’ve always slid under the radar,” Julia Applegate says. “I don’t think people are as interested in what women do, period. I don’t think we’re as interesting to people because we’re not as valued.” 

I’ve worked on data analytics around customer feedback for my job, and it’s a weird unfortunate reality that both companies and users are to blame. I’m not sure if it stems from the early days of eBay (“AAAAAAAAA++++++++++++”) or is just human nature, but the vast majority of our survey responses were either 10/10 or…

“Caught up in”?? They’re the intended targets.

What I think will actually help stop teens from internalizing harmful ideas from porn (ie biology ideas, copy violence, body insecurities) is comprehensive sex-education that addresses porn as an acted-out fantasy rather than a documentary.

It’s worth noting the only cable internet provider in state (i.e., the ISP most everyone uses,) is called Cox. Commence jokes.

Purchased a new forester 6 years ago. I wanted a premium manual trans so i emailed a lot of dealers for best price. Im in dallas, a dealer in Houston responded with the best price handled all the paperwork via pdf. One $99 southwest flight later i had my new car. The dealer picked me up at the airport in my new car…

What does it benefit a dealer to send an itemized quote via email?

So, I imagine you have a pretty handy list of dealers who are good to work with and those who aren’t. And I imagine a lot of us here probably have some experience with a few dealers in our areas. We should create a site (or a portion of this site) that is like ratemyprofessor but for dealers. And they could be rated…

This seems like an extra layer of salt to me.

According to this article because my significant other has a medical condition that requires her to eat a very specific and small type of meal she should feel like shit because this waitress think she should order a normal meal ask for half the shit to be removed then pay full price plus tip when she’s unable to eat…

First of all how I eat is none of the servers business. If I want to eat like a 10 year old so be it. Second, maybe the restaurant should offer better choices on the kids menu if that is the case. Third, what’s tacky is you telling anyone how they choose to eat is tacky and 4th maybe if the server does a good job the…

If restaurants would offer a Smaller Portions menu (and no, appetizers don’t count), people wouldn’t be so tempted by the kids menu.
