Miss America: The Latest Institution Destroyed by the Left
The Daily Signal ^ | 6/12/18 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 06/12/2018 5:07:55 PM PDT by Boomer

As I have documented repeatedly, the left ruins just about everything it touches: the universities, the arts, the elementary schools and high schools, religion, sports, and ordinary, everyday interactions between human beings—especially human beings of different races.

The latest examples—in just the last few weeks—are the Boy Scouts, sculpture, and the Miss America pageant.

At least it was something vapid and boring to begin with this time.

Safer. Bad answers follow them around.

Won’t be long before Miss America will be Trans-America.

The beauty pageant was itself a progressive institution meant to undermine traditional rules on women’s modesty in public.

The irony now the progressives want to stamp it out is not lost on me.

There are beauty pageants all over the world, and they’re pretty harmless. It was like “Miss Subways” when I was growing up in NY. A sort of feel-good moment (in that case, monthly, with a pretty girl who was a subway rider) for your borough or your street or your building. If you were a girl, you always wanted to be her...because she looked so pretty and nice, even if she was struggling off to work on the (then) unairconditioned trains and going to someplace that may not have been a lot of fun. If you were a guy, you probably wanted to marry her.

On the national scene, the Miss Whatever was nice, not trashy, and she’d come in waving and people would be happy.

And this was true at local rural festivals, such as the local Miss Watermelon festival a few towns over from where I live now. It was all FUN.

I liked this line in Dennis Prager’s article about the attacks: “The latest examples—in just the last few weeks—are the Boy Scouts, sculpture, and the Miss America pageant.”

The big thing that will be a problem in the next Miss America pageant is the number of men competing. How have we fallen this far?

I doubt many men watch these things anyhow. I would like to know the male/female ratings split for these things. I have never heard a man say he has to rush home to catch the start of a beauty pageant. I bet gay men might watch them for the glamor and glitz.

I am a 245 pound man. Why would you discriminate against me, and force these unrealistic restrictions on me? LOL =)

There’s no “pageant” and no point. Time to end it. Another institution destroyed by the feminazis.

How many women like to show off being sexy and feminine? Is it a bad thing for a pretty woman to do that?

Limbaugh hit the nail on the head in one of his “undeniable truths”, namely, “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

The left in this country is the equivalent to the Taliban.

He would approve of a transgendered pageant and maybe even compete for an ego boost. Maybe he should win an award without even doing the competition.

As a non-advocate I surmise that Internet Porn had a lot to do with killing off beauty pageants. Miss America included.

As for feminists taking credit, fools rush in. One anti-feminist activity begat another.

What IS interesting is that beauty pageants, porn, and the feminist movement are all anti-woman in a diabolical sense. It should not be.

“I thought I heard Gretchen Carlson is a big wig, or in charge of Miss America? She isnt a lefty loser is she??

Wretched Carlson...the one who sucked 20 mil out of Fox and killed Roger Ailes?
