'I can’t hear misogyny in drag culture anymore.'
At the beginning of the second episode, after Kendall's elimination, the queens returned to the workroom to discuss the top two queens' lipstick choices. This led to a conversation between Vanity and Stephanie Prince, in which Vanity explained the importance of representation when outlining her reasoning for saving Stephanie.
Without having a cis woman like Victoria in the competition, this maturely-executed, progressive conversation – as well as its resolution – may have never occurred. Amongst the remaining cis male cast, Victoria is the only queen who could have personally experienced misogyny. And whilst it shouldn't necessarily be Victoria's responsibility to bring up the misogyny that can be associated with the use of this word, admirably here, she did.
The fact that the use of one word – that has been proven can be offensive to women, cis and trans – is more important to some cis gay men than respecting female drag performers, makes the problem abundantly clear. It's an unmistakable example of the misogyny Victoria is talking about, and implicates those responsible for causing it.
