Beauty Pageants are competitions between woman of all ages based on distinct skills and a barbie doll image. Woman of any race, shape, or size are beautiful through out, not just based on their appearance or abilities. These competitions promote a negative image of female beauty that only a minority of woman can achieve. I have chosen this topic because beauty pageants are harmful to woman by encouraging dieting, eating disorders, and or by making woman feel unaccepted. This blog will encompass all of the points previously stated and address the major question: Are beauty pageants harmful to the female image?
