This is the sort of thing that makes me cringe - does no one understand that she's intentionally working to subvert the male gaze through her act? It's part of what makes her approach so powerful and probably why she's sticking with it, because every demand for her to stop dressing in tuxedos and to become more feminine is an affirmation that there's something to be addressed there...
Do we make the same demands of a male performer?
