Nowhere is the gendered double standard more apparent than in the Miss Universe competition.
While women in all industries face professional hurdles, pageants are one of the only workplaces where they are required to wear ball gowns while doing so. In this annual competition, women are expected to be gorgeous, intelligent, and poised; to look good in a bikini, ace a question-and-answer segment, represent their entire nation and walk perfectly in high heels. Meanwhile Steve Harvey, the reigning male host, automatically exceeds expectations if he manages to read out the correct winner (and was somehow rehired after f***ing up his one and only job).

BUZZ!! “What are seven things liberal broads can’t do”, Alex!
It’s educational. I learned that Finland is also called Suomi. :)
Saw her picture....enough said
Oh, you don't mean it's sexist because only women have a chance to be in it and win all that money for doing nothing but looking good? I agree, take it off the air. I never watched it anyway.
Al Franken wishes he could attend.

I say they should add a male facet to it them have a run-off between the male and female exhibitionists who end up on top....or just do away with it as it serves no social purpose....
I remember watching Miss Universe at age 13 in 1980 and discovering for the first time how lovely women’s legs are.
You silly duopolist bigot. Don’t you know we’re all supposed to be androgynous???
These new-age leftists are all trying in vain to get people, men and women alike (and no, there are NOT any other valid choices) to deny their innate drives and desires.
Well, at least his hands.
It is not a double standard to treat unlike things differently.
You mean transgenders can’t compete?
Really I am surprised this is still a thing.
Most woman don’t parade around in a bikini and stilettos.
High heels
There, fixed it.
Good news Amy: nobody actually watched it.

Don’t need these beauty contests. The reporterettes, anchorettes, weatherettes (as Rush calls them) are a parade of beauties all primped up to look their best.
Hmmm .....
NOT GUILTY
