Eliminating the feminine beauty component of Miss America sets the table for transgender contestants and a transgender winner.

Queen Esther was a beauty pageant contestant and saved the Jewish people.

I think it’s fine to take out the bikini section but keep it a beauty pageant? But maybe I am wrong...

There is a very simple explanation for taking beauty out of beauty pageants.

The winners will be decided by how much they hate you, the conservative/religious Americans.

There is a much higher probability of some of these women qualifying as philosophers than the probability of MSM clown show amateurs scoring right of 100 on the Bell Curve.

I imagine that with the inevitable loss of advertisers due to the predictable collapse of the TV ratings, PBS will be the only channel interested in airing the newly revised pageant format.

Do any men even watch these things? What is male/female ratings split?
