Are beauty contests degrading womanhood?

A beauty contest is a platform where women all over the world compete for the pageant.

According to me, beauty contests are providing women a good platform to showcase their talents and skills. It's not an easy task to perform. Only beauty with brains can win the pageant.

These contests help the women to show that they are no less and gives them new opportunities. It also helps them to realize their confidence.

An ordinary girl can get a celebrity status in no time.

It's not just about winning but also the girl can learn to become responsible as they have to do lot of social work.

Thank you.

India is greatly hailed as a land of culture and tradition. Women are considered to be the ornament of the country. Beauty contests are a platform designed specifically to identify and promote the hidden talent of the women, who represent India on a global platform. Beauties like aishwariya rai, sushmita sen have made India proud with their beauty, talent, confidence, and showcased their individuality. Women draw inspiration from such examples. Beauty contest is just a platform. Its not a disgrace to a women. As beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, so beauty contests should be mirrored as an opportunity to express and impress.

If people think it is a mode of entertainment and a disgrace to Indian tradition, then its the view that needs a thorough modification. Beauty contests should not be limited to zero size figures and wearing short dresses. Beauty contests should be about testing inner beauty and enhancing each participants confidence.

Modern definition of beauty contest has become only the physical beauty and projecting women as mere objects with makeup dabbed faces. Its the projection that degrades womanhood not the mode. So beauty pageants should be encouraged and viewed positively.

Hi everyone.

The beauty contest is a platform to show their talent in front of all over the world. It helps them realise their inner self, confidence, and they are not weak and gives them new opportunities.

An ordinary girl gets a celebrity status like that 2017 miss world winner Manushi chiller.

It is not only physical beauty contest but also show their real beauty and inner talent.

Cons:

Many women give up their religious and cultural sentiments to win the contest.

Many young girls leave their education for such a contest.

I personally feel that beauty is one's eternal asset to cherish. It is god's gift to someone. We shouldn't expose it by participating in fashion contest wearning short dresses and impressing judges. Though such contests require some extra talent but is not matching with our present cultural society.

"Degrading womanhood" is definitely not what I would agree to. It implies that the woman does not, any longer, have the qualities a woman should. Whereas the beauty contests are a platform for the women to come out in front of the world and exhibit herself as the epitome of love, beauty, wit, empathy and patience. Which in fact is giving them chance to prove their womanhood in front of the world in a very respectable way.

The 'question' whereas, as I understand, focuses on revelation of skin which can not be the only factor which can decide womanhood.

I agree that revealing skin and figure does not really show your beauty hence I think it should not be such an important part of such pageants.

I would like to state that beauty contest is degrading women as fashion is important but at a limit, limit must not be crossed even if its about increasing your beauty or improving the way of dressing style. This style has been crossed in beauty contest. Let us take an example you might have observed that there is new kind of eye fashion by bordering your eye with many makeup products, can that be followed in your day to day life or any party. You would surely not. And more over internal beauty is important than external one. Your behaviour matters more than your makeover.

As the above ones are saying the beauty contest gives the name and fame to the women it will build confidence in women and the fact is that it is not only about the beauty in the beauty contrast they also check their confidence and presence of mind. And in countries like India it is the myth about women that they have to depend on the male subordinates and these contests are the counter for these myths.

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.

I personally believe that womanhood is most important for the women growth and beauty contest is medium to stand in front of the people. When a women participate in beauty contest then she learns many thing like how to face crowd how to talk in front of people no matter she will win or loss but she shows confidence to spread herself through beauty contest so overall conclusion that beauty contest is not degrading women hood.

Beauty contest doesn't degrading womenhood.

In my opinion, a beauty contest is the best platform where a woman can show his physical as well as mental ability of how she can approach in different situations. This has also lead to woman empowerment. But, it should be implemented well. Every single woman of this world should have given the right to participate in a beauty contest. This should not be done only on physical aspects.
