Of course a beauty pageant is based on looks. Otherwise, what's the point? Some talk about "objectifying women", but it is possible to admire a woman's beauty and to appreciate her for other qualities, too.

My sister is a former Mrs. America. The inside scoop that she got is that they’re laying the pathway to being open to more transgender entries and that eliminating the swim suit portion will help level out the competition. Wouldn’t want to give actual women an unfair advantage.

The Left has but one tactic.

1. Infiltrate
2. Appropriate
3. Purge

They did it with films. They did it with college. Now they’re doing it to geek culture (Star Wars, comic books, gaming). Beauty pageant are just a new front for them.

I’m sure some lunatic Leftist can come up with a great reason why the swimsuit portion should be dropped, but there is a tip-off here about what is going on.

There’s nothing sexist or objectifying about an evening gown. Women do go to a number of events where an evening gown is sort of a requirement.

There’s nothing wrong with demonstrating you have poise and can function in an evening gown.

You see, it’s not about sex. It’s about anything that shows a woman has the ability to conduct herself with poise, where her looks may come into play, even if it isn’t a sexist setting.

If dear Gretchin Carlson wants to follow through on her goal, then here is what the Miss American pagent should consist of.

1. The contestant will not be shown
2. Her voice will not be aired (a computerized voice will read her responses, just in case she might have a cute voice and skew the public impression)
3. The whole program will consist of interviews on PC issues, where the women (for all you know) will respond on que and be judged according to the latest societal accepted group-think

If they don’t go this route, then it’s just hypocritical to the max.

The last person watching, please turn out the lights...

22 state pageant leaders are seeking to oust Chairwoman Gretchen Carlson over concerns about the pageant’s new direction

Dumping her is the only way to save the program.

Feminists have been trying to put an end to these for decades. Looks like they’re almost close to shutting them down for good.
