    As a needlessly serious answer - conservatives don’t mind exceptions. What scares the shit out of them is any systemic challenge to The Hieararchy.™ Guys in dresses as a punchline doesn’t ask them to reconsider how men and women are treated differently. Like asking why there’s a female-only residence in the first place.

      Have you ever watched “Some Like It Hot?” Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemon

      It came out in 1959 and asked all the questions you brought up. Sailed past the censors and was popular on TV for decades

      My opinion is that because it was a ‘silly movie’ it got to say things a ‘serious’ film would be condemned
