Was I dropped from a drag queen job for being a woman?

Drag is a play on gender constructs, norms and stereotypes. Women have just as much right to play with that as men

We're all made of stars love. Bits of you are made of other people!

Wouldn’t a female drag artist be a drag king?

I think that history will look at this period as a Belle Epoque where we had no real problems and thus had to create some for ourselves.

Indeed, in areas where things are tough people don't worry about all this sort of st, getting through the day is hard enough. In that regard I guess it's good that we do/can have fkwits like this

Constantly complain that minorities are under-represented


Minority gets represented


Doesn't really count as he's the wrong sort of minority

There isn't a polar opposite version of this thread, so I thought it could go here

Because that's what women (and many gay men) find attractive/sexy, not scrawny looking s like you Caspar. HTH.

Elba is a good, honest, old fashioned petrolhed (possibly even lurks on here - who knows?) so it's hardly surprising the yoghurt-knitting bein pensants don;t like him. Probably a very good sign his doing things right!

Caspar isn't a man, he's even got an effeminate name FFS

One of my builders is called Caspar.

You definitely would repeat that statement to his face, I can assure you!

You see in your builders case it probably worked as it should...

We are not even close to Peak Guardian.

Wait and see the country change when the current Tory voters die off, Millenials swing the vote and Labour takes control.

This has only just started.

The country won’t change if/when that happens. It will simply die.

It will never happen. People grow up and wise up as they get older.

I can’t stand them these days. So much junk designed to attract clicks and nothing much else. Half of the crap on there can’t posisbly be serious. Journalistic integrity has long since given way to revenue generation. I seriously doubt many of their hacks actually care about the quality of their articles. They probably get paid per view.

Agreed. When you're young you've spent most of your life receiving food, shelter, transport, education at someone else's expense, and you want that to continue so you vote Labour.

Once you've spent a while paying for your own food, shelter , transport etc you start to wonder why you're having to give so much of your money to the government, especially the and harder you work to succeed, the more they want.

You could say the same for every generation; millennials aren't special! Most people realise pretty quickly after full time education that free stuff isn't free.
