First of all this whole judging women on the basis of their looks is so wrong at first place. However, it has been going on since so long, and no one forces these women to take part in Miss World or in any other beauty pageant.They do it more or less voluntary, and happy about it. So no sweat.
Parade in Bikini is one part of these beauty pageants, but this year's pageant in Indonesia, Miss World has replaced it with beach sarongs to cool down the protests from hard-line Muslim groups. Read more: here !
However, here we are talking about Indonesia's conservatives who don't want to see models in bikinis, but want models to wear sarongs which from no angle looks likes like anything Islamic or covered.Oh please, I ain't the one one who is rising this issue: what is Islamic and what is not, they are the one. And if they wanna talk about it then this Sarogans are not Islamic either. Models should wear burkini.
If they had issue with it, why bother to take part in it at first place. They should not let it held in its country, neither send it participant to the contest. Period
Or you reckon it is pageant's mistake to go Indonesia !

Agreed
ReplyDeleteI agree too :)
ReplyDeleteI would have to check but i think we still have Miss World and other beauty pageants in England but they are not telivised now, except on those remote cable channels. They are seen as sexist here, really, but of course the view that women can wear what they want, when they want is gaining currency.
ReplyDeleteThough if you walk down any street , a lot of the bill boards and adverts have nothing but women on them.
I'd have to read more in to it, before formulating judgement.
well, i think it depends o the perspective of the viewers, however, i somehow agree on you
