This is exactly what I'm talking about. . .
Miss America talking about empowering women. Here's a competition that touts itself as being about scholarship for worthy young women. About advancing women forward and giving them confidence, but who the winner is really comes down to looks - to sex appeal.
So this article from Yahoo says that Miss America doesn't have ENOUGH sex appeal for today's society, so they're trying to switch things up, move to Vegas . . .
Isn't all of this "empowerment" really objectification cloaked in good intentions? What does it say to young women that the winner of the college money is the contestent who exhibits the most perfect measurements in a bathing suit?
