From RuPaul to Lady Gaga: Why (Some) Women Are Dressing Up Like Drag Queens
"They get something from drag that they don't get from a normal makeover - it lets them perform womanliness, to try it on like a new outfit, but with the label still attached. … A meek woman is allowed to taste strength by turning her femaleness into theater.
