It’s true: Men — comedians, mostly, like Milton Berle and Flip Wilson — used to dress up in drag. They did it because it was funny. Still, some people think they have opponents of Drag Queen Story Hour on the ropes. Remember how Jamie Farr’s Corporal Klinger used to dress up in women’s clothes on “MAS*H”? Nobody had a problem with that, right? Weird.

The thing is, we were clear on the reasons Klinger dressed in women’s clothes — to get discharged from the Army for being a nutcase. Why do drag queens in 2023 want an audience of children?

But what about Bugs Bunny pretending to be a woman? Tom Hanks pretended to be a woman! Why do people only have a problem with it now?
