THE GOOD AND BAD OF BEAUTY CONTESTS



Critics say,

It is mostly based on the physical beauty of all contestants

Its a parade of female bodies

Beauty contests promote an ideal of female beauty to which only a minority of women can realistically aspire



Judging women, but not men, primarily on their looks contributes to the subjugation of women because other qualities such as intelligence, are not seen as part of ideal feminity and there fore, not as things to which women should aspire.
