And why is it that they MAKE bikinis in the first place? That's rather sexist! You're next, fashion industry!  "And gentlemen in England now abed, shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day" | |||

Remember that 'feminism" has nothing to do with actual women's rights or wants; it is all about hating men. Notice how, if a woman wants to do or say provocative things or prance around in her undies, the feminists will defend it as "freely expressing her sexuality". It is only if any men appear to be deriving any appreciation of it that it will be labelled "exploitive". So, as the Miss America viewership and sponsorship immediately collapses, look forward to a revival in a couple years, as contestants "voluntarily" choose to "express their talent" with scantily-clad pole dancing and twerking. A win-win situation! "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

I’ve always failed to understand these competitions. What’s the purpose? What does the winner really represent? If it’s just about beauty with things like talent to differentiate and enable tie breaking, fine. But now it’s about empowerment and scholarships? On the basis of what? Beauty acertained outside of a bathing suit? Talent? What about morality and integrity? Miss America as a beauty pageant was okay. Beauty was the dominant factor. Miss America as a symbol of the best and ideal American woman deserving of endorsements and scholarships I think will be fraught with disappointment. What if it’s just a millennial who has no regard for the constitution? "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

The real purpose is to generate profits. It is a corporation. It is not a charity or a government agency. It is entertainment for money. Men watched because they like to see pretty girls. Women watch because they want to know what is considered pretty. Pure supply-and-demand and profit motive. "Crom is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, 'What is the riddle of steel?' If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me." | |||

With no swimsuit and no beauty contest maybe they could debate Chile with versus without beans. | |||

June 6, 2018 The end of the swimsuit competition is part of the war on heterosexual men By Ed Straker For years, feminists have battled heterosexual men on numerous fronts: 1. To label any attraction men show for women as "creepy." Men being attracted to dangerous sexual activity with other men is never labeled as "creepy." Neither is the idea of boys in girls' bathrooms. But men showing attraction to women is called "creepy." 2. The "Me Too" movement includes criticism of men showing attraction to women. Whenever a man is accused of sexually harassing women, all sorts of stories come out about him; invariably, some of the stories are the simple "I find you attractive" kind, which are lumped together with the sexual assault stories to mean one and the same. 3. The rape "epidemic" on college campuses. Another big lie is that women are constant victims of rape on college campuses...even if they don't know it. And now we have the Miss America Pageant, which will no longer have a swimsuit competition (and no longer be called a pageant). Originally, the idea of a beauty contest was to showcase, and judge, physical beauty. As decades passed, it was deemed too crass to judge women solely on appearance (as if that is never done in real life), and a talent section was added to such events. Well, now organizations like Miss America are taking the physical appearance part out of the event entirely. Women with double-chins, big bellies, and giant face moles, and those over the age of 70, can now compete to be "Miss America." The beginning of the end can be seen when the Miss America Pageant appointed Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America, to be its chairman. What business does a woman have being the chairman of an event that is supposed to appeal to men? Furthermore, Ms. Carlson has an axe to grind; she sued Fox News for supposed sexual harassment and walked away with 20 million dollars. This is the person who was chosen to lead the Miss America Pageant. Is it any surprise that beauty is no longer going to be a criterion? This change actually has very little to do with women and is all about men. This is about the feminist campaign to delegitimize the idea of women being attractive to men; this is something feminists call "creepy." Yet women spend billions of dollars on products and magazines to look attractive. Millions of women have no problem with such a competition. The problem lies with feminists, who are looking for new ways to attack the bond between men and women. The Miss America Pageant no doubt believes that it is not dooming itself by canceling the swimsuit competition and making the event purely a virtue-signaling event. Liberals are like that – so deluded by how they want the world to be that they are totally ignorant of human nature. Take a look at what Carlson said: "We are no longer a pageant. Miss America will represent a new generation of female leaders focused on scholarship, social impact, talent and empowerment," Carlson said in a statement. "We're experiencing a cultural revolution in our country with women finding the courage to stand up and have their voices heard on many issues. Miss America is proud to evolve as an organization and join this empowerment movement." When "GMA" anchor Amy Robach asked about potential ratings drop, given that some viewers may want to see women in swimsuits, Carlson dismissed the idea. "Interestingly enough, that's not a highly rated part of the competition. People actually like the talent part of the competition," Carlson said. How can a person be so deluded? https://www.americanthinker.co...eterosexual_men.html "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Yeah, well just remember what happened when Playboy decided to "stop objectifying women." That lasted, what, a year?  | |||
