I may get flamed, but, what then is the purpose of these beauty pageants???

I don’t watch these pageants, either for teenage girls or the adult Miss America type events. But, just saying, why do people watch? Why do people compete? How are they evaluated? And why even have a pageant if you fundamentally change what it’s all about?

Flame away.

What is the purpose of these beauty pageants?

Supposedly to promote a healthy image of excellent values for women and girls. That's why I suggested that a "casual dress" category, appropriate for low impact activities and daily activities would do just that.

“why do people watch?”

It doesn’t seem like very many people do.

I think only maybe women and gays watch this crap anyhow.
