What do you REALLY think about Beauty Pageants?

For or Against?

Is it objectifying women or showing women at their best?

Go.

No he doesn't.  He did run Miss Universe but sold it in 2015..

The four top beauty pageants are:

Miss Universe (US based)

Miss World (UK based)

Miss International (Japan based)

Miss Earth (Philippines based) Miss Earth promotes environmental issues, conservation and social responsibility

Who cares, honestly?

The participants are judged by their conformance to hypothetical physical norms. An ability to string syllables together might be a tie-breaker, but the BEAUTY bit, by definition is the overarching criterion.

As such, beauty pageants are sexist, and irrelevant to anybody who isn't sexist.

I couldn't remember the country with the most finalists so thanks. 🙂

They certainly give the impression that all the women in Venezuela must have movie star looks. LOL I read somewhere that they have a special fashion school for women who want to enter beauty pageants which makes sense I guess, given the high standard of entrants from that country.

Thanks to the Miss Univese contest, I know so much more country names.
