Drags are as cringeworthy as the blackface minstrels in that regard. It could make you think that women are being made fun of it the same way black people were being made a joke.

The minstrels were doing it while appropriating the music of people from Africa. I've never been to a drag show. Is there vaudevillianesque mimicry of women entertainers?
