There were many topics I was considering analysing for today, but I decided to choose the least awkward one. The chapter discussing the Ms. America Pagent didnt make much sense to me. Why these women, who made such important social changes in society, would care so much about petty things like beauty pagents and Playboy Magazine is beyond me. Both are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. If anything, I believe these two spectacles help women gain independence and power. I think that a women who strips her clothes off for a tasteful pictorial is liberating, along with walking on stage in a bathing suit for the world to see. Obviously, Im a man, so the feminists would probably scold me for looking at this situation with eyes of lust, but I assure you Im not. I just think that wasting time picketing and protesting at events like beauty pagents is not constructive. In retrospect, its one of the few areas where the women's liberation movement failed. We still have beauty pagents, more of them that ever actually, and Playboy magazine is still extremely popular. Drawing attention to pagents and such only makes them more popular, no publicity is bad publicity, right?
