West Chester University held a\ndrag show last year, and I found a video of one of the shows they did 4 years\nago on YouTube. By doing drag, those individuals are expressing themselves in a\nway that destroys the idea that women must act feminine and men must act manly.\nButler has a strong negative attitude towards the operation of gender within\nour society and this video shows how our university is acting in the positive\ndirection to dismantle gender \u201creality\u201d. If gender is seen as a performance,\nthen drag really takes the stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/j1qKH5Ykk-4\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/j1qKH5Ykk-4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judith Butler talks about drag being an example of how reality is not as fixed as we think it to be, and by performing drag, the line between gender is &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/uncategorized\/drag-and-gender-reality\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Drag and Gender Reality<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":179,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions\/179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
