The Catholic Culture Podcast: 151 – Liberal Women & Drag Queens


Jan 16, 2023

What’s behind the increasing popularity of drag queens and drag
shows in America? Why is half the audience of RuPaul’s Drag
Race
now composed of young liberal women? How has the drag
subculture, originally intended as a frivolous and self-consciously
artificial deconstruction of masculinity, paradoxically become one
of progressivism’s most potent symbols of earnest and authentic
self-expression?

Darel Paul, professor of political science at Williams College,
joins the podcast to discuss his recent First Things essay
“Drag Queens”. Attempting to answer the questions above, he brings
forth insights about the relation between the LGBT movement,
“wokeness” and America’s largely female-driven therapeutic
culture.
