Are beauty contests degrading womanhood?

We can stand as a unique person in this world by helping the needy, serving our society, raising our voice over social evils such as discrimination of caste, religion, region. So I think exposing our beauty over outside world is unnecessary.

But if we are talking about womanhood, nothing in these contests define womanhood. Womanhood doesn't mean looking beautiful or petite, doing a catwalk or talking on terrorism or world peace. These contests are merely a pass to enter the world of fashion and movies. None of the promises made in the contests are addressed after winning the competition let go of completing them.

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 right 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.

According to me beauty contest is not degrading the women good. This is a platform for women to prove herself. But by only considering beauty we should not judge a women. Beauty + brain + character + attitude should be the measures of beauty contest. As human is a social animal first. So empowering women should be the main motto of these beauty contest.

Somewhere by only considering beauty a women is judge. As external beauty is god gifted. We can't change it. So by considering beauty we are demoralizing women who have not external beauty. So beauty contest should be in such a way that women of our society get motivated.

Hello friends.

By my point of view, Beauty contest doesn't degrade of womanhood. The famous Beauty contest in the world is miss world and miss universe. I am very glad to say that the miss world of 2017 is Manushi Chhilar from Haryana. And miss universe of 2017 is Nel Pitsberg from South Africa. These contest independent of colour, hight, religion and tradition.

Thank you.

In justifying my point I would like to add that when we are talking about Indian culture, then yes beauty contests are degrading it because wearing short dresses and exposing various body parts aren't our culture also with respect to have a good outlook of the body womens go for size zero and keep themselves on low diet which in turn transforms them from having a genuine body into skeletons but still they feel very proud of acquiring size zero despite of unknowing the fact that for how long they will survive on earth like this. Wearing traditional dresses is our culture and we have magnificent dresses to wear.

Hello friends.

I think it's not true or not right to say that beauty contest degrading the womanhood its just a platform where a woman can show her talent beauty contests are not for just to see the physical beauty of a woman its also about her inner beauty. Beauty contest helps a woman to grow, develop and make their own identity in this world many has proved this too like Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra, Manushi Cillar and many more and about culture then I don't think that these woman have forgotten our culture. This its all about people mind set.

That how they see woman. I think woman should participate in international beauty contest and make India proud.

Hello Friend's. In my opinion, beauty contest not degrading the womenhood. It is contest in which womens and girls boost their talent and our culture in the world. Our society made the rules about the womens. Many womens like priyanka chopra, aiswariya rai and manushi chillar won the beauty contest and make the country proud. Now the times come to change the view of our society about the womens. Rich men's not making the country strong but strong womens making the country strong.

I dont think beauty contests are degrading womanhood. In name beauty contests itself we can understand clearly it s a competition based on beauty. Beauty contests is the place only to expose their physical beauty. Its a hectic work to maintain beauty with physical fittings. Womans are not only showing their beauty, they are trying to express many factors like self confidence, maintenance of beauty, talents, way of speaking, positive attitudes and they are facing various audiences with a full of challenges. probably, if any girl went for any birthday parties or marriages they wil try to prove tat they are lookin much pretty than other woman in parties.. Everyone eyes should turn on her.. Its quite nature about gals. Wat am coming to say here is, gals are trying to expose their beauties even though in parties so wats a wrong in this beauty contests. It is a only place where each and every audiences and media look upon the models so they wil try to prove their talents and best performance.. Its a quite challenge for a model among modellers. It is nothing there to think this is degrading womanhood.. Each and every women has unique talents and intersts..

Conclusion : Finaly, i conclude here is each and every coins has two faces by the way in each and every fields has both positive and negative things.. Try to do something positive from negative things. On the other hand, how we take it is and how we see is.. Only let we see about a postive things in a proper and right way not in a wrong way !!

I feels that beauty contest are not for our culture because in our Indian culture woman wear saris, dresses & etc that covers their whole body & in beauty contasts they have to wear short clothes & its a western culture. We are Indian & we must proud of that. Why beauty contasts don't shows any Indian culture? If that is just a proffetion & that models are just representing the designs made by fashion designers than why they have to concerntrate on their figure looks & etc. & in beauty contast womans wears only western clothos. Why not saris & dresses&etc. Atchually fashion designers are just using womens beuty for their busseness they are just explosing woman beauty & its not a thing for use its a gift from the nature.

In my point of view the beauty contests are degrading womanhood because all the woman has their own beauty if the contest is made it seems that other women are not beauty.

Yes, these kinds of shows proof how much we think bout our outer beauty. Not our inner selves. The questions asked are very limited. Would they take a girl willing to participate in an acid attack? So? They look like dumb models posing on stage with fake smiles. They are doing nothing for the country or for the world. It's a pathway to get into Cinemas or TV. And they tell onstage about society and true selves. The truth is they are filled with same lies. That's it! People only tell in words mother Teresa is great. They do nothing.
