Men have many aspects to participate in as men are tougher compared to women. So the only aspect women get to participate into are sensible and soft aspects. Women are always considered about their beauty, pride, self-esteem etc.

Though women participate in games education and all other activities it is that these contests give them their satisfaction to put out what they have. Beauty contests do not degrade women but it is the people who think in the negative way, it is we who have to change thinking. A beauty contest takes all aspects of a participant.

I think not because, these beauty contests have also set some standards, to define "beauty" which actually can't be done, because real beauty comes from within, and you cannot define beauty by the way someone looks and dresses.

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.

Hello friends,

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.

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.

No. Well, I personally feel beauty contest does not degrade womanhood until it goes beyond the limit that is it goes to the level of exposure in various dresses including sarees.

Hello guys, this is Mukesh.

According to my point of view, a beauty contest is the best platform where a woman can expose her actual skills. It gives all women more confidence to do something better for the country.

It is wrong to say that beauty pageants degrade womanhood. Because the women that choose to participate in these pageants are empowered and not demolished. The concept of beauty pageants was original to give women.

A platform to showcase themselves onto make the name for themselves. Beauty in this is providing jobs to women. It is providing a platform to make her own identity. Have a great day ahead.

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.

I think beauty is an inferior thing. If anyone has enough talent (other than beauty) then why should we go for his/her external appearance? I personally feels that beauty is in the eye of the person that observing so, I don't believe in exposure but in smartness. By competitions like beauty contest the feel of inferiority in the women is exploring day by day. So it is necessary to go for a real talent which is other than beauty.
