Yeah. Powderpuff football game, where the players dress up as cheerleaders, many with makeup and wigs and the girls dress up in the football unis. It's as american as apple pie. I was wishing she was bitching about this and found out her grandson was dressed up and was like "well, that's different" and went and screamed in a pillow.
That was not part of the Pella Dutch homecoming festivities in the 70s and 80s anyway.
"Iowa nice"
No clue, but was normal in the 90s. But I can bet there's some that consider it conforming to gender and sexist stereotypes and arguing with those that welcome challenging gender norms or someshit like that, all the while the high school kids just want to get drunk and laid at the bonfire afterwards.
I think a lot of schools have phased it out because of injuries. The high school where I did my student teaching ended it that year (1999) because there was a broken nose and two broken wrists. One of them was a good basketball player and that ended her season. (Montana used to play GBB in the fall.)
You guys just wore the old fashioned Dutch boy/girl outfits and painted wooden shoes, didn't you?
FTR, my wife has about 6 pairs of wooden shoes.
My twins, who graduated HS in 2019, did it.
Rare? This is the Republican party these days.
I watched the 1958 classic South Pacific last week. I assume the GQP is going to forbid any high school from putting on a production of South Pacific. Or, at least scrub the scene where Billis dresses in drag for the big production in front of the troops.
By the way, Billis in the movie is ably played by Ray Walston, who went on to play Mr. Hand in Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

There is a guy that wears skirts around downtown Ames all the time and everyone knows him on a first name basis. Doesn't hurt a fly. Nice gentleman No harm to anyone.

Why do you equate “questioning the transitioning of a toddler by a parent” to “hating trans people”?
Some Like It Hot is regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time and the entire premise is men (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) masquerading as women.
And it's got Marilyn Monroe.
HA! My bad! I had the other thread opened in the other tab and got my wires crossed! Carry on!
How about White Christmas, where Bing Crosby cross dresses with Danny f-ing Kaye? Cancel that.
Time to cancel Revenge Of The Nerds. Ban it.Makes me look at Revenge of the Nerds in a whole new light. This skit was so f'n woke. These guys were the real heroes!
Totally gay. Cancel it.Some Like It Hot is regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time and the entire premise is men (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) masquerading as women.

Nice catch. That is about when America started it's free fall into hedonism and lost it's way. If people had been more woke and cancelled Bing Crosby America wouldn't be in this mess.
