Is this a step too far?

At one point, being gay was going too far

Same for same sex marriage, adoption by single/same sex couples, assisted reproduction, women living on their own being single, etc

Society just needs to adapt

My opinion is that Beauty Pageants should be a thing of the past for either sex.

I loathe beauty pageants so couldn't really care less. If a man thinks he's gorgeous and others agree, what does it matter? Women have harder battles to fight.

To be fair you can see why she won the contest.

Agreed.

It is 'interesting' that an obviously male person should now be 'the ideal vision of American womanhood' though. That really does sum up what many of us have been saying for years - men want us to step aside in all spheres. We are becoming eradicated.

I am not defending beauty contests, but given that they exist, look at the other contestants. They are all women and look like 'ideal' women are supposed to look. They are not overweight. They have breasts and obviously female bodies, but they lost to a man in a dress. The message is not very subtle, is it?

At least they will never be Miss America.

Brilliant.. 🤣

Hithere Fri 11-Nov-22 18:27:21

I wonder why these pageants still exist - that should be the question

I think America has a much more old fashioned view of gender than some other countries, there appears to be some very 'traditional' views of how men and women should be.

I’m glad that some got it 😄

Inaccurate statement - the US has 331.9 million people, with many different opinions in the matter

Blossoming Fri 11-Nov-22 19:17:34

Who cares, frankly. These contests are ridiculous.

There is only one way men and women should be! Male and female!

Yes there are 2 sexes but men and women can present in any way they like. It has no impact on their sex I agree. But there are stereotypes about how men and women should be.

Exactly you've hit the nail on the head with humour.

Bonkers!

He’s a man dressed in a woman’s glittery frock, wearing a long wig. Let’s stop pretending he is a she - he isn’t.

Oh goody the thread police are out again

fiorentina51 Sat 12-Nov-22 07:44:26

I wonder if a young, fat, plain woman in a wig would have won it? Given the chance and wearing the same sparkly frock of course.
He must have a stunning personality...

Best joke so far-but he wouldn’t agree!
