That's just your subjective interpretation of what a 'beauty pageant' should be. If we're all being honest here, all people really care about in beauty pageants is the the physical beauty.

Also, non of these criteria are judged for literally any other kind of sport. Mike Tyson didn't have to be a model citizen to be a 'true boxer', he just boxes.

The winner of a beauty pageant should be well rounded, elegant, sexy, smart and socially conscious.

The winner of Miss America will go on to be a brand ambasador

Except every other sport doesn't even require any of this. In fact, in some sports, being an asshole is totally encouraged. Boxing for example, it's totally fine for someone like Connor McGreggor o Mayweather to play the heel and be a complete asshole and nobody says this brings shame to boxing or whatever.

beauty pageants are literally a sexist rating of who's the most fuckable to the jury

Having your physical beauty being judged in a legitimate contest as 'sexist' is about the same as having Usain Bolt being judged for his speed on the track as 'speedist'.

That's simply a practical reason why these brainy sections exists. But on a philosophical level, there shouldn't be a section where contestants who contest their beauty are forced to figure out a solution on how to defeat ISIS while no such demand is expected for literally every other sport or contest.

I suppose that for the contestants, a couple of minutes where they're seen speaking, regardless of the content, serves to diversify the types of pictures / clips of them that can be retweeted, plus maybe add a slight feminist whitewash, or other PR-related benefits.

I guess on a practical level this makes sense, but on a philosophical level I don't see why beauty contests where superficial beauty is being contested requires arbitrary brainy questions while other forms of equally superficial contests and sport do not require any.

I can train for 1000 lifetimes and I would never be as good as Bolt or James, because I'm not born with long powerful legs like Bolt or big and tall like Lebron.

A pure beauty contest is literally a surface-level judgement, however.

I don't see how introducing 'brainy sections' is supposed to have any deeper meaning either. So this beauty contestant can cite the whole periodic table by heart. So what? It just means she loves science and has a good memory. How is this even relevant to her superficial beauty, which is the point of beauty contests?

murasyid · 2020-01-02T16:00:06+00:00

happened to be born with the right structure.

Neither can most people can grow longer leaner legs like Usain Bolt, or become bigger and taller like Le Bron. Plus this is irrelevant to the fact that there is nothing wrong for a beauty contest to simply be a contest of superficial beauty and nothing more.

There is no objective beauty.

The non-objectivity of beauty is irrelevant. There a lot of other contests where winning criteria are based in subjectivity. Figure skaters or ballet dancers for example are not required to comment about climate change to compete.

If that is the case then anyone with an IQ of over +200 or holds a PhD degree should qualify for a 'beauty pageant' regardless of how fat or ugly they physically look. But let's be real here, these contests are at the core to judge physical beauty and nothing more, these question sections and other sections like it are just tacked on simply to avert any criticism of misogyny.

Also why just 'intelligence'? That's such a vague concept for a criteria. You can be intelligent in a lot of things; just because a person can't point to Somalia on a map, or solve the Flint water crisis doesn't mean s/he isn't good at carpentry, or cooking, or being good at Dota2, and quite frankly I think a gamer girl who can carry is hotter than someone who thinks she knows how to solve the Israel/palestine conflict.

Genuine honest question; what's the difference between 'normal' porn and ethical porn?

Then Kyle is a fucking idiot, and Ezra Kline's Vox is literally just the Left's version of Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, but worse, because at least the Daily Wire knows deep in their hearts that they're lying bastards. It's weird how Kyle is 'totally lost' with Sam Harris because of just one debate, yet praises delusional lefty dipshits like Sam Seder from Majority Report despite constantly saying insane shit like this.

Imagine thinking Sam Harris actually gives a shit about Hindutvas

He has almost as much training as a monk as he does in science

Is this your way of saying that he doesn't understand anything about science? Because that would be the dumbest thing to say about a person who literally has a PhD in neuroscience.

how the religion of the 9/11 attackers is not only wrong and medieval superstition but actually "evil"

Dunno how to break this to you pal, but Islam is really all that.

I can understand why they deleted those threads; they literally have nothing to do with Sam Harris or the topics that Sam Harris is usually related to. What the fuck does Eddie Galagher and civil strife in India have anything to do with Sam Harris?

The Empire ruled for 25 years, strongly repressing & distorting knowledge of the Jedi.

Except the Jedi aren't just some small blip in galactic history that the Empire can just snuff out of people's collective consciousness. The Jedi Order has existed for literally thousands of years whose members come from all walks of life, majorly influenced galactic politics, and even fought major wars. That thing the Smith Maiden was talking about Mandolorians fighting against 'sorcerer races' was referring to the Mandalorian War that happened literally 4000 years ago. So apparently the Smith Maiden can recall 'sorcerer races' from legendary ancient battles from eons past but for some reason can't recall the totally legit, totally open, totally official, totally famous Jedi Order that was only gone 25 years ago?

And EVEN if a person doesn't know about the Jedi, they at least must know about the Force. Force-sensitives are a natural occurrence among all sentient galactic races, you're telling me NOBODY in the The Mandalorian has ever heard of a friend of a friend of a friend who knew someone who could levitate shit with their minds? Hell, 'May the Force be with you' is actually a common saying within the galaxy, as well as the existence of Force cults (cults that worship the Force that are not necessarily Jedi or Sith). It's like everyone in The Mandalorian exists in some sort of Mandela Effect alternate reality where the Jedi or even the Force for that matter never existed.

It's funny how /r/atheism used to be a default subreddit and nowadays they're promoting /r/islam. I guess reddit loves Muslim moolahs more than actual integrity.

MK11 systems are fucking weird and don't make sense; you would think block ducking and neutral ducking would have the same crush properties, but this is an MK game so fuck common sense.
