Taking the ‘Beauty’ out of Beauty Pageants; They want to turn contestants into philosophers

I suppose the rifle competition is out as well.

“Miss America will represent a new generation of female leaders focused on scholarship, social impact, talent and empowerment.”

This statement is almost a quote from "Atlas Shrugged" after the socialistic environment in the USA is established, especially the social impact clause. And the book is now 61 years old. Who is John Galt?

Thank you President Trump. MAGA!!

Demeaning the celebration of beauty, feminine pulchritude & the normal, tasteful, objectification of feminine allure, is part of the war on reality by compulsion driven egalitarians. This is another absurd example the hatred of excellence masquerading as enlightenment & virtue. For my response to the Feminist war on American Femininity: Women Hostage To Contrived Delusion

Theres a couple of Megan Markles in there.

if you really want to see a beautiful woman, go visit a brand new mother in the hospital holding her newborn...THAT'S a beautiful woman...

I do think that we are heading towards trangenderistas entering and winning the so called "beauty" pageants...just like grace and artistic expression are being downplayed in favor of muscular routines in female figure skating...

PBS will be the only channel interested in airing the newly revised pageant format.

And there it will be turned into a PBS fundraiser.

Tune in to your local radio stations for all you need to know.

How in the hell did Gretchen Carlson ever win even a local beauty pageant? She’s maybe two steps above Chelsea.

I think I’ll watch Soupy Sales reruns.

"#24 - Feminism was created so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

so what's wrong with that?...not everyone can be "beautiful"..

just like so many men can not be tall, handsome, muscular and athletic...mainstream society will find a place for them...

Whoopty frick.

My prediction? The Miss America thing is about to go the way of the Dodo bird due to poor ratings.

If it does survive, it’ll be feature on MSNBC and star mostly Feminist Lesbians and Transexuals and the gender confused.

I wonder what is the next target in their sights? Ending High School Proms? That would probably be a good start!

So basically it will be a return to TED MACK’S ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR! Without Ted Mack.

” It’s the Miss America radio show!”

“To that end, the swimsuit competition is gone. “

Big deal....swimsuits are clothing and I see women in clothes all the time.

I'll quote one of the few good things Marco Rubio said:

"We need more welders and fewer philosophers."

Like Playboy abandoning nudes, this will get reversed after it's gone on a couple of times. Ratings, after all.

"We have decided to change the name of the program from Miss America to Fat Chicks On Philosophy."

[Bonemaker]

““We are no longer a pageant,” Gretchen Carlson, the group’s head, explained. “

Oh boy is this hag in situ a human wrecking ball or what?

“” It’s the Miss America radio show!”

Perfect!

Within a few years only rabid abortion advocates will be allowed to be contestants.

And only those who have actually had their child killed in their womb will be eligible to win.
