Beauty Competitions, other than as supposed or expected recognise as Beauty Contests or Beauty Pageants degrade women to mere objects. Such a contest is the exploitation of women by men and other women. A contest based on skill or capacity is all right. For example if eight humans were to run in a race, only one will win. The outcome of such a race is clear. There is no doubt as to who ran faster. So is the case with a chess competition. Someone has to win, or at least draw with someone else. There is no need for anybody to judge such competitions. All they have to do is to watch and the result presents itself. Perhaps to ascertain fairplay a referee or an umpire may oversee the proceedings. In the case of a beauty competition, no skill or capacity is involved. Beauty is supposed to be the criteria for such a competition. The question is: how may beauty be competed? Beauty is a quality that is in the one who is seeing what he or she might say to be beautiful. A woman considered to be pretty by one person may not be so to another. One man may like a woman with an hour-glass figure. Another may like a plump woman. One may find long hair finelooking while another may liken long hair to that of an ugly witch. Beauty is strictly subjective. No two humans may agree on what beauty is. Yet there are ‘beauty’ competitions. This is ridiculous. How may a group of pompous men and women watch the parade of a group of half-naked girls pronounce one to be the most beautiful? These young for the most part naïve girls, because they cannot show any skill or ability, have to show off their bodies in public in front of an audience of lusty and leering old men. It is degrading to see these young girls with perpetual smiles pouting their lips and wiggling their bottoms just to gain a heap of marks from numerous pretentious judges. The winner gets to wear a crown and ‘reign’ for a year. The sovereignty is in truth cheap advert for the company that sponsors her. However, in her ignorance, the beauty queen sees fit to replace her with galore other more beauteous naïve creature. Every woman is beautiful, if she may just be herself. The moment she flaunts herself, she becomes an object to be degraded and exploited by those who will cash in or her assets. This private finelooking woman then becomes public property, an exploited sex-object – for a year. Is beauty not enduring thing? Or does it lasts only a year? Perhaps women will realize her own beauty and not have to exhibit it in front of dirty old men pretending to be appreciative. They then do have to take share in ‘beauty’ competitions. Their own beauty speaks for themselves. |
