“Drag Me to the Catskills” may seem “hip" and “edgy” to WJFF, but such “womanface” is as sexist to women as “blackface” is to Black people. No one conscious of the many expressions and weapons of male supremacy can help but squirm to see men (some of them with the ballsy male claim to actually BE women) imitating the stereotypes of women without at least some cringing.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s supposed to be funny, but in 2025 women still struggle to be respected and taken seriously and don’t appreciate being humiliated. When we protest drag, we are dismissed as prudes or having no sense of humor — or worse, accused of being right-wingers, which is the opposite of the truth.

I threw my high heels as “an item of female torture” into the Freedom Trash Can at the Miss America Pageant Protest in 1968 and have been struggling against male usurpation of women’s rights and labor ever since. Some gains have been made (and now lost), but being female is still no joke. I guess the need of these guys to “express themseves” trumps women’s real lives.

Drag may be a "popular” form of entertainment to some, but it is yet another slap in the face to the female sex — and not what I expect or deserve from my favorite public radio station.
