Beauty contests are irrelevant and outdated. Who cares.

You might not care but some of those pageants provide women and girls with connections or fully paid scholarships who otherwise would have no shot to get into a good university. It's not all mindless prancing and glitter.

I'm not supporting pageants, i'm just mentioning that this again takes opportunities away from girls and women.
