Stardate 20010923.0638 (On Screen): Something that
doesn't make America great is the "Miss America" contest. It is an anachronism, a left-over from a chauvinistic time when the most important characteristic of a woman was how closely she resembled the current standard of physical beauty. I like looking at gorgeous babes as much as any man, but there's more to a woman than that (and I cannot stand to date a woman unless she's got a lot under the hood). The contest has tried, a bit, to add in just a trace of intellectualism, but the primary emphasis is still on physical beauty and shapely tits, on how well the woman can walk on spike heels and sway her hips while doing so, and on how brightly her teeth glow when she flashes that big smile at the camera. Brainless bimbos with big boobs are still favored to win. Some intelligent women have won the contest, but I think that's more due to chance rather than by design. Why does this travesty continue?
