While many drag performances are making a caricature out of women, I don't think it's inherently bad. The whole point of being GC is that there's nothing inherently female about makeup, colorful clothes, dresses, etc.

They are not just wearing make-up, colorful clothes and dresses, though, they are doing all of that while playing a woman persona.

If they were just men in dresses and make-up it would be one thing, but they get women stage names, use female pronouns and, more often than not, recreate a pretty specific bitchy and shallow stereotype of a woman.
