Crossdressing

Clearly, Shakespeare's audience thought crossdressing was uproariously funny, and today we still think that's so. "White Chicks," "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Bachelor Party," and "To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" show that Americans love movies with gender-bending themes. Why do you think crossdressing is viewed as so comedic? Why do you think crossdressing is mainly acceptable in mainstream movies, but homosexuality remains controversial and often incendiary?

references in popular culture to the divine commedia: da inferno

so i found what i was looking for with all the references to dante's divine comedy: the inferno.
