Tyrus made a good point on Gutfeld last night. Tyrus, as you know, is a professional wrestler who contributes on Fox. He has coined a term, Woman Face. You can watch the clip here.
Basically what he is saying is that if a guy shows up at your party wearing black face and pretending to be black, everyone would he uncomfortable. Likewise, a guy shows up at your party dressed as a woman, pretending to be something he is plainly not, That is Woman Face and those people should get the same level of treatment as someone wearing black face.
It makes sense to me.
Except its not the same thing.
ReplyDeleteBlackface has a totally different and malign history.
Someone in blackface today is being a dick.
A man dressed as a woman isn't necessarily trying to insult women or be a jerk.
But if we keep at this "how I take it" instead of "how it was meant" bullshit, then the minority bigots win because they take everything as an insult and force everyone else to behave as if an insult was how it was intended.
