In my opinion beauty contests are not degrading the womanhood :

* Every woman can choose it as a career option.

* It is 21st century and today's woman are not born to stay at home, they have the right to show their talent.

* An ordinary girl gets a celebrity status.

* Beauty contests are actually considered as platform to enter the glamorous world of the film industry.

No, it is not. The beauty contest is bringing back all the beauty of each and every women living in every corner of the world seeing tv programmes of beauty contest daily, or weekly etc. Beauty contest programs increases the chances of these women to anticipate in various beauty contests who are determined for winning resulting in increasing women's status in the world.

Hey friends,

I like to add some point if someone wants to show how beautiful she is, then she has the right for it.

It is a part of freedom for expression.

No one allow to misuse this opportunity to disrespect women.

Through this contest they gets opportunities in various industries. So instead of degrading we are helping them to a respectful career.

No way it degrades anyone. If you are a woman, you have every right to celebrate your womanhood. Moreover, it is not just about your beauty but also about your personality as a whole. Some contests have shunned the swimsuits and have included points for academics and professional performances. GWF Beauty contest recently introduced such a point system.

It is wrong to accuse the beauty pageants as vulgar display of body.

They are playing an important part in the emancipation of the Indian women, who has after centuries woken up to her natural charm. Such contests give weight-age to personality and knowledge, besides physical beauty. Its the vulgarity of mind who thinks it as degrading of women hood.

In my point of view, i think always Women's are equivalent to Men. Beauty contest are held only for women and not for men mostly. so, women's should take it in a rite way and they can use their own traditional dresses like chude, saree, etc,. Being a girl , each should come forward for all and also express their own talents possibly in a good way.

Beauty contests are for inspiring women's not to degrade womanhood. It is not easy to participate in any beauty contest, it has lots of criteria's, and one who have both beauty and brain only she can win the contest. It is one of the ways to explore yourself in front of the world. So in my opinion, beauty contests do not degrading the womenhood.

Hi. I don't think that beauty contests are degrading womanhood. Beauty contest are basically for judging a person inner as well as outer beauty. It also look for traits like confidence, honesty etc. These contests are basically for judging the talent of an individual and appreciating their talent. Everyone should take them in a very good way.

I believe that it's not as much as its shown because the platform modelling, fashioning etc are very very different. And if we relate this with our personal life so, I think that's very wrong because the common housewife is not the part of that platform she is happy in her own world so, why are we comparing this platform to the normal ladies.

My opinion in this topic is that a beauty contest is a way for women to improve their skills and a life changing opportunity for them, we all know how is the condition of women in our culture, it's a good way to empowered them and also makes self dependent, they are also inspiration for upcoming generation.

Thank you.
