Smash Miss University London Beauty Pageant!

What's so wrong with girls wanting to look pretty?

nothing at all. You have to place that desire within the context of why and for who though surely? When our society places female beauty on such a high pedestal, like the best and most important thing a girl can do is be fit, I question the overall pattern. I mean, it's like all those stupid hooker-with-a-heart stories that don't reflect the drug/traffic slave reality for the majority. It's the commodifying of beauty that I object to, and pageants are just that, dressed up as celebrations of beauty

GF-less dottie is on a hiding to nothing here though.:D
 
How quaint I thought this type of militarist feminism had died out. Nice to see someone is carrying it on for the sake of nostalgia.

What other things could we try and stop people from doing, perhaps we should appoint a committee to burn all books that do not come up to the required intellectual standard, or ban theatre shows that represent lifestyles we don’t personally agree with. Obviously these people have been brainwashed by the capitalist swine and only *YOU* know what’s good for them.

I don’t like ITV and think it turns people into chavs and rots their brains but if people want to watch it then it’s their life to waste. As soon as you start restricting freedoms of others when they are not causing harm you are on dodgy ground.
 
I bet none of you would go out with a minger



:D

E2A:

Actually, to be fair, someone on this thread did once make a post here suggesting that they would do me, even if I had a face like Jimmy Saville.

This was of course on the basis of seeing a flatteringly lit photo of my arse.



Serious question. Further up the thread there was talk of free choice and results of those free choices. What are the results X, Y and/or Z of beauty pageants?

Mate, your meetings with the Freedom Association have rotted your brain!

A representation of female Identity that some females (and men) disagree with but others are happy with. Obviously that's something that justifes it being branded an enemy of the revolution, as decreed by the dear leader.

question any kind of inequality, be it gender, race or economic based and some cunt will come along and call you a book burning militant. Perhaps the real book-burners are those who seek to suppress even the questioning by invoking silly comparisons?

ahistorical nonsense again mate!

I'm drawing a chalk outline for you on the wall right now

I think Beauty Pageants are a pile of bull and perhaps the most tedious way in which you can spend your time. I also don't think you should reduce women to objects of beauty. But if that's what people want to do then you can't simply go around trying to ban it.

If you disagree with it then put across your reasons to those who are participating in it and allow them to make their own minds up. Ultimately engaging in this type of juvenile direct action simply undermines your cause and allows people like myself to paint cruel stereotypes of militant feminist for their fickle amusement.
 
I'm not trolling, jefe. True it was slightly tongue in cheek but all these 'boys' on here, defending women's rights - how many of you put it into practical application?

So you think there's an analogue between personal attraction between men and women, and a beauty pageant?

If so, get help. Seriously.
 
What are the chances that the chance that the organisers of the pageant have covertly arranged the counter-action to increase nationwide publicity? :p

:eek:

Let's ask ourselves, is this action about using a good argument to allow adults to decide themselves what they want to do with their own free time...

It would be far more effective to organize a meeting discussing the issue and inviting participants along. You might actually change someone’s mind rather than just get their backs up then.

One's just an extension of the other, yes :)

What do (the majority of) men find attractive in women? It won't be too dissimilar to what the women in the pageant are judged on.

It's very sweet that men defend women and their right to not be judged on their looks but then most of you wouldn't go out with a minger, would you?
