Fair enough . . . Good thing that splshmtn/pnp's grossly condescending comment that I was responding to goes unmoderated though.

I’m not sure I understand this blanket statement. Hard to build a coalition if you’re going to dismiss half the coalition right from the jump.

i think pageants are inherently and part and parcel about being judged on looks, and the participants for the most part i think are comfortable with that, the viewership as well. so if they want to just eliminate the bikini swimsuit part shouldn't that be a sensible compromise and end to this silly (for me) debate/conversation. i actually think it would be good to remove the blatantly about sex/looks swimsuit part and be done with it. i'd still be ok w age limits per the organizers wants etc. doesn't have to become so radical lol i guess to me pageant participates seem naturally eager to show off not only their talents and mind, but looks as well but if a participant is in it for the scholarship or just doesn't want to wear a swimsuit or that's not what the organizers want it to be anymore is understandable i think plus that part feels a little too on the nose and coercive anyway ala a fox news employee wewaring drab clothes or thick skirts or a sweater they aren't going to be at fox long unless i guess your greta van susteren i'm sure ailes was okay with her coming to work in a pant suit lol but anyways just take that part out, inject other ways to show off physical beauty, get creative, etc. put some life into the event and bring everyone into the fold. or just hire steve harvey to flub a line and it can go viral.


tl;dr: where are the (bleep) children

"We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance. That's huge," she said.

i thought this was just about removing the swimsuit part

that's just silly gretchen carlson should have said based on physical app. alone or as the primary thing or something cause if she's saying it's a show having nothing to do with looks, well that is disingenuous entirely.

also, i'm fairly sure a lot of ppl will tune out ? iono maybe not they might have lost the maga crowd for life though

I'm not trying to build a coalition or change minds. I was expressing my personal discomfort. I have no answers here. I stopped watching these things when I was about 10-years old when I had got that same queasy feeling that something wasn't quite right. It's always felt creepy to me. ::shrugs::

it made me cringe too, to see grown men up in arms or upset over this.

many people feel that way when men discuss or opine on a range of issues such as women's health issues or abortion.

but i do find it more off putting that imaging us men on this forum talking about this issue (whatever it may be) makes you cringe. even though i find it weird men would care significantly about a pageant to begin with.. but i think it tangentially has meaning to people maybe related to PC culture or metoo or tradition....whatever it may be.

it is dismaying to know that our voice and thoughts before even being known or expressed are cringe inducing due to our sex

maybe we deserve your sunken and diminished expectations i don't know

People are overthinking this. I find the topic cringe worthy to me personally. You're free to discuss, not discuss, whatever. I find it weird that women want to participate in pageants but that's their right. I find it weird that people are entertained by it. But that's their right. I also find it weird that people love reality TV shows based on people stabbing each other in the back. But people have a right to make 'em and others have a right to watch 'em. And I have a right to say they make me cringe. Cuz they do.

If things were reversed and a primarily woman-focused message board started discussing a primarily men's topic about whether men should do this or that (viagra, sports betting, man caves, whatever), I'd guess many would have some sort of reaction.

But whatever. Carry on.

Ok, fair enough. I’m trying to be the man my daughter and my children’s daughters (and sons) deserve, which means not being silent and accepting of behaviors or coercive stereotyping. I don’t intend to tell women how to feel about any particular thing as individuals or a group, I merely stopped taking a neutral stance on stuff, same as I learned to do with race.

I thought a little more about this topic. So let's say the topic had been: "The objectification of women in American culture, what contributes to it, how is it harmful and what needs to change?" And let's suppose people linked to various articles studying the relative impacts of language, traditional role models, TV and film, beauty pageants, porn, body image, etc.

Now that would be a starting point for a worthwhile discussion in my mind. But that wasn't the starting point of this thread. I realize you and several others tried to take the discussion to a more thoughtful, relevant place, and I appreciate that.

At the end of the day, you can take the swimsuits out of the pageant, but you're still stuck with the same old BS of women being judged on appearance and performance.

It's kind of crazy that it is 2018 and the only concession to this kind of "pageantry" is the elimination of the swimsuits competition. However, I suppose that in light of our current decline into moral decay we are lucky that the Donald didn't dictate that they keep the swimsuit competition, but ban the swimsuits.

For what it’s worth, I understand exactly where you’re coming from. I am a card carrying member of the male gender, and the topic makes me uncomfortable. Sorry for bumping the thread and making you cringe again.

But if a participant is in it for the scholarship or just doesn't want to wear a swimsuit or that's not what the organizers want it to be anymore it is understandable I think.

Plus that part feels a little too on the nose and coercive anyway ala a fox news employee wearing drab clothes or thick skirts or a sweater.

They aren't going to be at fox long anyway unless i guess your greta van susteren.

I'm sure Ailes was okay with her coming to work in a pant suit lol but anyways just take that part out...inject other ways to show off physical beauty, get creative, etc. put some life into the event and bring everyone into the fold!

That's a part of the competition I haven't read posts discussing. Gretchen Carlson, 1989 Miss America, chairwoman Miss America board of directors, graduated from Stanford University

Like the human face, beauty pageants can be pretty cover-ups that hide so much more beneath their facades. Did you know that hundreds of beauty competitions in this country award their winning contestants with scholarship money for college? It turns out that academics, as well as posture, is a huge aspect of the world of beauty pageantry.

I thought the pageant was fine the way it was. And I think the pageant will be fine after these changes. I see the pageant as a business, and the costumes as uniforms. The pageant thinks the change is best for ratings. So they should be able to do it.

If your child is idolizing beauty queens and you don't want them to. Parent them. To be honest though, young girls don't need these pageants to learn how to idolize beauty. Our whole society teaches that to young girls.

With all that said. If it were up to me. All child and teen pageants would be banned. Grown men watching and judging underage girls dressed in outfits. It's creepy and disgusting.

I thought the pageant was fine the way it was. And I think the pageant will be fine after these changes. I see the pageant as a business, and the costumes as uniforms. The pageant thinks the change is best for ratings. So they should be able to do it.

If your child is idolizing beauty queens and you don't want them to. Parent them. To be honest though, young girls don't need these pageants to learn how to idolize beauty. Our whole society teaches that to young girls.

With all that said. If it were up to me. All child and teen pageants would be banned. Grown men watching and judging underage girls dressed in outfits. It's creepy and disgusting.
now you beat me to it on the last lines. I've always found that extremely creepy.
