Woke culture declares war on beauty
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jun, 2024 | Eric Utter

Posted on 06/10/2024 4:01:58 AM PDT by MtnClimber

As WKRG reported, 23-year-old Atmore resident Sara Milliken won Miss Alabama on her third try over Memorial Day weekend. The morbidly obese Milliken claimed her goal was only to make the top 10 after failing even to place in her previous two attempts. Yet, she is now Miss Alabama. A few days later, despite an array of stunningly beautiful, charming, and intelligent women to choose from in the Miss Maryland USA pageant, the contest’s judges awarded the crown to a biological male who goes by the name of Bailey Anne Kennedy. How did this happen? You know the answer as well as I do: wokeness run amok. This is part and parcel of the perverse leftist desire to render the meaning of words moot… and worse yet, to strip everything of any meaning whatsoever. Their desire to excuse their own proclivities and behavior, whatever it may be, impels them to attempt to destroy the very concepts of decency, “better,” and good and evil… that they may not be judged here on this earth. (And, since they typically do not believe in God, they think they are home free.) This is a deliberate attempt to make a mockery of judgements, competition, the sacredness of male and female complementarity, beauty… and God himself. Make no mistake, the Left is engaged in an all-out war on beauty, excellence, and decency. This, in turn, is part of its larger War on Truth.

This is part of the population reduction agenda.

Define ugly as beauty and humans will reproduce a lot less.

In this case, it’s a notion of tearing down svelte, beautiful women rather than helping this young lady slim down, exercise and eat better.

They are also control freaks (wanting to BE God or gods)... so... anything they can change just for the sake of change, they will change, with them interpreting that as them being “in control”. In reality, they’re in control of nothing. Quite the opposite, in fact. But creating delusion is also part of the devil’s hold over them.

Well the left did take control of toilet flushes. It seems an appropriate place to stick their noses into.

Just like Biden/Harris?

“It’s a glandular thing.” Hogwash!


I think it was actress/comedienne Nel Carter who said (during a stand up routine) “The problem is there are two holes, one on each end, and you’re filling up the one hole faster than it can come out the other hole.”

“Miss America Pageant” vs. “America Miss Pageant”.

I understand the name distinction. But how many people out there will read one vs. the other and conclude they are the SAME thing.

Now, whether you are for or against “beauty pageants” to any degree, one would conclude (and probably rightly so) that the “America Miss Pageant” organizers and supporters have an ideological, feminist axe to grind against “The Miss America Pageant.”

I would bet a thousand dollars to ANYONE that if you walked up to anyone on the street and asked them about “The America Miss Pageant” the response would OVERWHELMINGLY in the majority be descriptive of “The Miss America Pageant”.

I see it being done deliberately, and with a specific purpose, too. It wasn’t an accident. This is more DIE bullspit, meant to destroy the Western concept of beauty and “male conceptions of beauty”.

Not meant as any kind of rebuke to both of you, you are correct to point out the difference as fully intended by the organizers of this event. I would not be surprised to hear there was a lawsuit over the name of the event, and that it was decided by a woke judge that these people could have an event called “The America Miss Pageant”.

It stinks to me, I don’t like it, and this is from the perspective of someone who may have paid little to zero attention to beauty pageants of any kind in the past.

I would disagree that we who made this ‘mistake’ and viewed the “America Miss Pageant” and took it as the ‘traditional’ “Miss America Pageant” are the ones who “took the bait”.

More likely, there are people (in the minority here) who are being led by the nose swallowing Leftist manipulation and accepting it at face value.

I think it is a far more serious problem of people being led by the nose and swallowing a deliberately manipulated version of what Leftists say is “the truth” than it is to be someone who looks at this “America Miss” vs. “Miss America” distinction put forth by this organization, and smells a Leftist Rat.

“Another fake story that gets lots of comments.”

Yep. And so many won’t even take 10 seconds to verify it. It’s been posted on X about 5 million times.

“...It stinks to me, I don’t like it, and this is from the perspective of someone who may have paid little to zero attention to beauty pageants of any kind in the past...”

This last comment you made says exactly the way I feel about them myself...I made the comment to you only because I did see that it was two different shows...

I could not care less about either one of them...

I completely got that from your post. I feel the same way. Intrinsically, I don’t care about beauty pageants.

But I do care about the way the Left has, and is engaged in total warfare against Western, specifically American culture in order to destroy it.

Because they have to destroy it so they can replace it with their version.

They have deliberately and repeatedly purloined and appropriated both symbols and speech, because those things are important. And they have done the same thing with history. And, surprisingly, with current events. Anyone who dismisses this assault isn’t worth a cup of warm spit.

To them, there is nothing too small or insignificant to leave alone.

The Left certainly thinks those things are important. It is important to their “Long March” (their tip of the hat to Chairman Mao) through institutions and culture.

And anyone who thinks they haven’t made great strides has their head firmly stuck in someplace, and is isn’t the sand, although they may have it stuck in both places at the same time.

Exactly true!!!!!!

I am 75 years old, a veteran, and I see what is happening to our great country...We “Boomers” are disappearing and our attempts at stopping the problems are being looked at by the younger people as “just old folks mouthing off”.....

The young never got to see the country that we grew up in...They just don’t have any concept of what they are allowing to slip away....
