Aw, fake news, fake news. Bunch of TV sets happen to be on that. Fake news. When I watch "news", I expect news. A full minute of this blanks out real stories |

Yes seriously. I mean you couldn’t make this stuff up folks. Liberals ruin everything. It’s as ridiculous as saying the Super Bowl will no longer be decided by the team who score the most points. Why is this a "liberal" thing? You must be a real sexist. If you were female, you may agree with the decision. I assume you disagree with this because you feel that a women's place is barefoot and pregnant and chained to the kitchen. |

I don't see how handing out young women scholarships is going to help the social justice agenda. What about the young men? Isn't equality the goal?
If you're only judging them based on what comes out of their mouth there is no rational reason to exclude males.. after all, isn't gender just a social construct anyway?
Sadly the bottom line is very few people are going to sit around listening to what those young ladies have to say.. They lack life experience and the time to read and expand their knowledge to the point they'll be interesting to listen to.
Just scrap the whole damn thing.

I seem to recall reading, somewhere, that the Q&A will be longer now...
Well... Since nobody gives a shit about what these women look like...
What is there to SEE now? Why bother TELEVISING the program from this day forward?
Just give them a written test... and post their answers and the judges results on a website.

I simply don't believe it for one minute. This is America folks. Women NOT judged for their appearance?  |

For Cody, beauty is only skin deep. It's not only skin deep but it's stupid to pretend that it has nothing to do with skin. Whatever. Everyone is welcome to their opinion, although no one is arguing that beauty is not connected to surfaces..
I am sure Cody at least ought to have been familiar with his instruction book, specifically 1 Peter 3:3-4: 3, where it says explicitly that "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewellery or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. "

For Cody, beauty is only skin deep. So said Jesus "And so verily I say unto ye, consider not the inner being, of the beauteous spirit, of a woman; but take full stock thereupon of her form, looking her up and down, and maketh thou comment upon the boobies. For there be some really top-rate totty in this here Galilee." Sexistpig 69:1-2 |

I don't mind the new criteria. It's a completely different competition though. Why associate it with what it isn't and call it Miss America anymore? Just call it something else.

Saying that they're no longer going to judge appearance is basically arguing that. |

Saying that they're no longer going to judge appearance is basically arguing that. How so if they are still going to judge the most overall attractive woman, whether she is down to her underwear or not? They're not changing it to a spelling Bee or general knowledge show. But I can see your argument and I am sure the originators of such shows thought the same. |

Not quite. if she’s chained to the kitchen how will she be able to deliver me my sandwich? Suppose I could just get a longer chain.  |

Miss America is now more ambiguous, something that's evident in the event's few vague requirements, which state that each contestant must be: a woman, a USA citizen, single and never married, and "of good moral character". Despite any exaggerated claims, it is likely that winning contestants will still have to be the most attractive overall to judges to win, probably through a combination of factors, including style and speech. |

Okay, I was just commenting on the idea expressed in the subject line of the thread. If that's not accurate (which wouldn't be surprising, given this board's track record on that), then there's no problem with it (conceptually) re Miss America. |

I can see how some people are seeing the changes to Miss America as all or nothing (and given its history the organisers are taking a risk alienating the traditional audience) but let's face it, the odds are pretty remote of the title going to some brainy but dowdy slattern. The quoted being "less of a pageant" to my ears does not read "no pageant". The "not judging on appearance" probably is just a way a reassuring those who were against the old-style meat market. At the end of the day it is reasonable to assume that they are still likely to end up with a platform of attractive younger women being judged, but without the stripping-off that was bolstered with inane comments on 'solving world hunger' etc previously. But I could be wrong, |
