Of course all the other aspects of judging like talents are just for show, just pretending it is something dignified.<br /><br />Maybe Giuliani was right when he diminished Stormy Daniels as not credible in her claims as a porn star, which is just a bit more explicit in its male fantasies they sell. Women's beauty is an asset men use and then dismiss when they're done. So it's all just a matter of who is profiting from those assets, and traditionally many older women, now invisible but know the game, are just as willingly profit off from younger women's beauty as older men.<br /><br />Overall, talking to young women over the years, it does look like if you're interested in cold hard cash, stripping for college tuition looks like a better bet then trying to win a beauty pageant for a scholarship. Young men are stupid, and they'll drop a lot of cash for very little action.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-60824640244309520542018-06-10T19:07:36.407-07:002018-06-10T19:07:36.407-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-40510945592240296902018-06-10T17:56:48.492-07:002018-06-10T17:56:48.492-07:00Bari Weiss is indicative of some wisdom that I sus...Bari Weiss is indicative of some wisdom that I suspect is emerging. I don't recall many past women of cranial repute saying such things. Perhaps the Truth is coming around the corner, and we can put an end to all this militant, menial, mediocre madness feminism hath wrought. <br /><br />If I were Bari, I’d watch my six.

If it”s not about physical beauty, there’s nothing to watch. <br /><br />The Left destroys everything, and hates beauty especially. The Left’s most ardent ideological adherents are not beautiful, and its leaders can’t create anything beautiful. <br /><br />Ah, and the RAGE about this points to something dark and irrepressible in the feminine soul. It’s like Michael Corleone in (his only memorable) line in Godfather III: “I keep trying to get out, but they keep pulling me back in!”Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-50257256049630057822018-06-10T13:43:59.927-07:002018-06-10T13:43:59.927-07:00The "we don't have to be beautiful" ...The "we don't have to be beautiful" thing or the deeper idea that beauty itself betrays feminist causes is not new. A woman I know wrote an article defending beauty in MS Magazine 30 years and said she got hate mail for it. She also recently recalled having been on a talk show panel at the time where the 4 other women, speaking ahead of her, all self-righteously swore off makeup, after which she applauded and encouraged their decision and hoped it would catch on because, she said, it would let her to be the best-looking woman in the world.

Ever since the pageant announced this farcical decision, I've been looking forward to commentary from 2 sources ... Stuart Schneiderman and Camille Paglia. One down, one to go! (If Paglia has already commented, I haven't seen it yet.)JPL17https://www.blogger.com/profile/10649330420822802850noreply@blogger.com
