I always wondered how drag queens got away with basically doing "woman face" or "pink face" I guess. Oh wait, they are dudes so it's ok.

Because "woman face" isn't really a thing, Greykittymomma. Let me explain my position: Baby girls don't come out of the womb with full glam makeup, glittery gowns, high heels, acrylic nails, dramatic hairdos, or even breast. The vast majority of female roles in all media (video games, cartoons, film, live-action television) are played by actual women. Feminine GNC guys (gay, straight, or bi) are seen as unnatural, annoying (by both straights and gays), sometimes "trashy/ghetto", and undesirable where as feminine women are seen as attractive and normal in society. And there are also no widespread reports of gay men dressed up like Kylie Jenner/Ariana Grande/MeganTheeStalion while beating, lynching, and burning women because a woman made a pass at them or whatever. Where as blackface actually does mock black people's natural born features (dark skin, thick lips, kinky textured hair, etc.) by exaggerating them in a clownish way. Blackface performances were going on for more than a hundred years, during times when black people toiled away as slaves in fields, during times when they weren't even allowed to portray themselves on film, and during times when teenage black boys got beaten to death for being falsely accused of whistling at white women. Blackface represents a big old pile of horribleness where as fem GNC gay/bi men doing drag represents a marginalized group of people celebrating their female influences (something that boys are taught not to have) and their own gay femininity while also bringing unity to their community through the joy of their performances n' whatnot. Not being into drag queens or their culture is totally fine, but "woman face" stuff just sounds kind of silly when you take all of the above into account.
