Why aren't drag queens seen as "problematic" exaggerations of female characteristics by males?
When whites exaggerate black characteristics as a costume it's a problem.
When abled bodies exaggerate disabled characteristics as a costume it's a problem.

Because the intent is not to mock?
Better race analogy might be white rappers and Rachel dolezal
drag is subtly but dramatically mysog
look at how guys refer to one another as girls and the context of each incident. It’s not usually their finest moments
But I would argue not intentionally so. Perhaps as a side effect or subconsciously.

Err exactly. That’s why they’re more like drag than your examples. Some sort of aspirational emulation that might still be viewed as problematic for reasons besides mockery.
