Your thoughts on beauty pageants...

Pageants for children? Let's not mince words, they are pageants for little girls. The little girls are taught young how to objectify themselves, put their physical selves on display for judgment by others and worst of all, learn to care about that. And yes, they feel really bad when they lose and someone else wins - not because they're smarter or did better on a test, but because their appearance was better and they performed better. Society sure does like women who do tricks. I don't see many pageants for men or little boys. >:( >:( >:(
Little girl pageants are abominations and should be looked on with the contempt they deserve for what they teach little girls.
Adult beauty pageants? Women beauty pageants. Did you ever see the movie "Miss Congeniality"?
To paraphrase a couple of lines from the two main characters,
"They want to get money for college, travel, see the world..."
"So join the Marines...it's like feminism never happened."

Have you seen one, Del? They teach the girls to go out and shake like hookers and take articles of clothing off...(practicing for the 'pole' I am assuming) The mothers say it is for the girls..."They love it!!" then you see the girls crying and the mothers screaming at them...

I am not surprised.

This was all succinctly put is perspective for me by a well known Australian comedian. In an endeavour to be kind, let us say that it's probably unlikely she will ever win a beauty pageant. However, having said that, she has a brilliant brain and a rapier-sharp wit, which define her comedy stand-up technique. Before going into comedy, she was a practising lawyer. She's very smart. As part of her comedy routine, she describes how she used to get her jollies whilst working as a lawyer in downtown Sydney. At lunchtime, she would attend the various fashion parades in the big department stores in the city. She'd take a seat "ringside" and when the gorgeous, leggy models passed by on the catwalk, she'd call up at them, "Speak, ya bitch! Speak!" Knowing full-well that they didn't have the intelligence to string a sentence together to save their lives. Unkind on her part? Definitely. Sour grapes? Probably. It's true, though, that these stunningly beautiful women are not exactly known for their intelligence. Their beauty is skin-deep and it's transitory. One day, they're going to have to come to terms with the reality of surviving without their beauty to bail them out.
