5. Why are there still beauty pageants?

Nov 6

These events— in part meant to empower women, in part to exploit them— are antiquated and antithetical in the 21st century. Good for Miss Mexico and her supporters for their strength.

In any event, this pageant official is a chauvinist asshole and a terrible manager. His misogyny is obvious and a good manager never admonishes a subordinate publicly. It’s insulting, shows poor management skills and demoralizes the staff.

These pageants should be retired. Permanently.
