Here’s How The Next Miss America Will Be Chosen

The world of sexual objectification suffered a devastating setback with the news that the Miss America pageant has scrapped its famous swimsuit competition. No longer, says a female spokesperson, will contestants be judged on their physical appearance. So what will they be judged upon?

      All women are the same in the dark.
      And a number of men as well.
      Can you REALLY tell what resides on the other side of the glory hole?

      “Ugly women drive the feminist movement.”
      Dude that is so wrong.
      Ugly women are more caring and giving because they can’t get the full ride on their looks.
      As someone once said about beautiful women ” Someone is tired of their shit”.

      From one of my favorite films Beautiful girls, Rosie O’Donnell is Gina The film also features a young Natalie Portman predicting “Marty : I might just grow to be five-ten. I’ll be hot.”

      “Gina: I’m finished speaking to both of you okay? You’re both fucking insane. You want to know what your problem is? MTV, Playboy, and Madison fucking Avenue. Yes. Let me explain something to you, ok? Girls with big tits have big asses. Girls with little tits have little asses. That’s the way it goes. God doesn’t fuck around; he’s a fair guy. He gave the fatties big, beautiful tits and the skinnies little tiny niddlers. It’s not my rule. If you don’t like it, call him. Hey Mitch. Thank you.

      [Looking at a porn magazine]

      Gina: Oh, guys, look what we have here. Look at this, your favorite. Oh, you like that?

      Tommy: I could go along with that.

      Gina: Yeah, that’s nice right? Well, it doesn’t exist ok. Look at the hair. The hair is long, it’s flowing, it’s like a river. Well, it’s a fucking weave ok? And the tits, please! I could hang my overcoat on them. Tits by design were invented to be suckled by babies. Yes, they’re purely functional. These are silicon city. And look, my favorite, the shaved pubis. Pubic hair being too unruly and all. Very key. This is a mockery, this is a sham, this is bullshit. Implants, collagen, plastic, capped teeth, the fat sucked out, the hair extended, the nose fixed, the bush shaved… These are not real women, all right? They’re beauty freaks. And they make all us normal women with our wrinkles, our puckered boobs, hi bob, and our cellulite feel somehow inadequate. Well I don’t buy it, all right? But you fucking mooks, if you think that if there’s a chance in hell that you’ll end up with one of these women, you don’t give us real women anything approaching a commitment. It’s pathetic. I don’t know what you think you’re going to do. You’re going to end up eighty-years old, drooling in some nursing home, then you’re going to decide, it’s time to settle down, get married, have kids? What, are you going to find a cheerleader? Charge it Mitch.

      Tommy: I think you’re over simplifying.

      Gina: Oh eat me. Look at Paul. With his models on the wall, his dog named Elle McPherson. He’s insane. He’s obsessed. You’re all obsessed. If you had an once of self-esteem, of self-worth, of self-confidence, you would realize that as trite as it may sound, beauty is truly skin-deep. And you know what, if you ever did hook one of those girls, I guarantee you’d be sick of her.

      Tommy: Yeah, I suppose I’d get sick of her after about, what, twenty or thirty years?

      Gina: Get over yourself. Thank you Mitch. Say hello to Gertrude.

      Tommy: What?

      Gina: No mater how perfect the nipple, how supple the thigh, unless there is some other shit going on in the relationship, besides the physical, it’s going to get old, ok? And you guys, as a gender, have got to get a grip. Otherwise, the future of the human race is in jeopardy.

      Willie Conway: What was that?

      Tommy: I don’t know, but a great ass.

      Willie Conway: Nice tits. Come on let’s go.

        Offhand how many years does it take for a non-rich “beautiful” woman to become an ugly lights off one?
        You may Google around for how makeup can turn plain women into beautiful ones.
        If you got the bucks it’s surgery and makeup.
        I’m pretty tired of the shallow society that is attractiveness driven.
        “Pretty” people don’t go to jail and when they get sentenced they receive less time.
        Talk about fucking bias.
        Pretty women can manipulate the male, and I suppose female, mind into spending more money on purchases.
        It’s all smoke and mirrors.
        Give me a functional woman over a beautiful one any day. One who can manage a budget, do home repairs, garden, cook a meal and you can have an intelligent conversation with.
        Not a phone staring self-absorbed with looks chick who will be past her sell by date within a year or two.

        At see how poorly your script is written. Hell a Bible thumping conservative doesn’t even know these quotes

        Timothy 2:9-10
        9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
        Samuel 16:7
        7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
        Proverbs 31:30
        30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
        Peter 3:3-4
        3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight

        The letters of Saint Paul do not reflect the teachings of Christ.

        Jesus threw out the Torah. He didn’t like a lot of rules. And the God of the Old Testament is markedly different from that of the new.

      • > And the God of the Old Testament is markedly different from that of the new.

        Correct, yet without the Old Testament Jesus was merely an itinerant Rabbi instead of a demigod. No miracles, no resurrection on Easter, just a long-haired Jewish liberal who got nailed up when he pissed off the local authorities.

        Given the change in management, it’s funny how supposed Christians take more from Leviticus than from Jesus’ own teachings.

        Funnier still is how they can believe such a mass of blatant contradictions. Do I stone wanton women or not? Given that I can burn in hell for ever and ever if I get it wrong, doncha think Jehovah coulda been a little more clear? How often does the eternal and everlasting supreme being change His mind, anyway? Let’s say you die on a Friday, god changes His mind over the weekend and you come up for Judgment on Monday. Do you get Judged by the old rules or the new ones?

        The reason I have to keep repeating myself is that you seem to have a learning disorder. Once again: fighting bigotry is the *exact* OPPOSITE of practicing bigotry. They are *different* things. Not the same. Contrasting. Disparate. One of these things is not like the other. Maybe you should take notes so I don’t have to keep repeating the lesson.

        You personally, pay more attention to Leviticus than Jesus’ own teachings. You are a perfect example of a ‘supposed Christian.’ The only problem I have with real Christians is that they’re so rare.

        It is only Christians who are rare. And that is not bigotry.

      • Wrong again, Coach.

        The Qur’an repeatedly sanctions those who create disorder and violence; and establishes rules of war which prohibit harming women and children. Those Muslims who practice otherwise would then not be “true” Muslims any more than you’re a true Christian.

        The Old Testament, on the other hand, glorifies rape and murder, even that of women and children. Kind of hard to reconcile with Jesus’ words, but them’s the facts.

        In practice, ALL of the Abrahamic religions have been used to justify hatred and violence, even as they ALL have writings condemning such behavior.

      As long as we are going there, female bodybuilders and fitness types have their own competitions. Mostly with very little clothing.

      And it isn’t like the track and field types wear Burkas, nor the swimmers.
      Fuck, forgot Gymnasts, but they tend to be young so may be there is a line there which should not be crossed.
      Where do skaters fall on that spectrum?

      Yes, whiz, the Austrian-accented body builder has become such a meme that you can’t even decide who it is I’m mocking.

      I do pick on Ah-node, but then I also admire him greatly. He *is* a self-made man, unlike Trump who is neither. I do Arnolds as part of my workout routine. I’ve got all his movies, and am still hoping that he’ll actually learn to act some day.

      Back to competitions, yes, female body-builders wear clothing designed to show off that body: that’s the whole point. But take a look at the difference between M & F gymnasts’ and skaters’ outfits. Why do women need to show more flesh than men in a competition that isn’t specifically about bodies? I”m sure that straight women & gay men in the audience would like a peek at the men’s finely chiseled butts as well.

    I just noticed how anti-feminist the toon seems to be.

    Why are so few women publishing scientific papers? It is a question that has been posed by New Scientist magazine, as it reports that in medicine, female authorship of scientific papers has started to go backwards. Since 2009, the proportion of women as lead authors has gone down.

    Findings such as these usually provoke a cry of “We need more women in science!” and organisations wheel out a spokesperson to explain that girls should be encouraged to study science at university. The Welsh government, for example, celebrated International Women’s Day this way.

    But while this is a fantastic way to persuade science funding bodies to reach into their pockets, it just doesn’t fit with the evidence. The quiet truth is this: women are doing science. And not only “more women than ever before”, as the New Scientist puts it. In fact, in lots of scientific disciplines women outnumber men.

    Don’t believe me? Recent data from the UK’s Higher Education Statistics Agency (although not available online, I requested the gender breakdown from its press office) shows that 69% of students studying medical technology-related degrees are women, as are 86% of those studying degrees in polymers. A whopping 77% of students studying veterinary science are female. The figure for psychology is even higher at 79%. The majority of students studying degrees in anthropology (72%); ophthalmics (69%); anatomy, physiology and pathology (64%); zoology (63%); forensic and archaeological sciences (61%); and pharmacology, toxicology and pharmacy (61%) are female.

    More women than men study clinical dentistry (59%); clinical medicine (55%); biology (58%); molecular biology, biophysics and biochemistry (54%); archaeology (56%); and “agriculture and related subjects” (67%). The story is the same in subjects such as genetics (57%) and microbiology (56%). For programmes classed as “broadly based programmes in medicine and dentistry”, the percentage of female students is even higher, at 76%. There may be more women studying full-time degrees across the board (54%), but there is still an undeniably strong female bias in science subjects.

    If there are so many women studying medical subjects, how do we explain the sudden decline in female authorship in medical journals since 2009?

    This is unlikely to be simply about the number of women studying medicine. Women have accounted for more than half of all new medical students since the 1990s. Today, even at postgraduate level, 64% of students studying medical and dentistry subjects are female.

    Instead of discussing gender bias, the New Scientist blames the “choice” to have a family. It points to a study in this month’s American Economic Review that shows women incurring earnings penalties in science if they have children. A recent House of Commons science and technology committee report goes into more detail, saying that scientific research careers are dominated by short-term contracts with poor job security – at the very time of life that women need to have children (if they want them). The female postdoctoral scientist faces difficult decisions while stuck on fixed-term contracts before tenure, with very little in the way of institutional support. Women should not have to choose between career and family, says the science magazine. But surely male scientists face similar choices?

    Apparently not. European social science research shows that male and female scientists often have different types of partners: male scientists more frequently have a stay-at-home partner looking after the children, while female scientists are more likely to have another scientist as a spouse. So male scientists might not need family-friendly working practices to have a successful career but female scientists do. Hence the loss of women in the “leaky pipeline” of scientific careers. And that is to say nothing of the research that found scientists perceived job applicants to be less competent when they had female names.

    Does this matter? It does. Male-dominated science and technology allowed women to be killed by first-generation car airbags at speeds of only 20mph, because engineers did not foresee that breasts close to the wheel could push airbags up towards the neck. And as Naomi Wolf pointed out in her book Promiscuities: A Secret History of Female Desire, over the centuries anatomists forgot about and “re-discovered” the clitoris at least six times before the scientist Helen O’Connell stepped in…

      Women in science groups have been drawing attention to sexism and the underrepresentation of women since the 1970s, but I didn’t really take notice until 2005, when Lawrence Summers—the president of Harvard University at the time—postulated that women lack “intrinsic aptitude” in science and engineering. I was a sophomore at Harvard that year: 19 years old and steeped enough in science culture to laugh off his comments at first. After all, they felt like a voicing of the tacit undercurrent of all my classes and lab experiences, just a few more in a series of insensitive comments to be borne and silently proved wrong by working harder.

      So I was surprised, and then cautiously excited, at the outrage his comments generated and the think pieces and statistics that were published in response. Change felt possible, and when Tim Hunt made misogynistic remarks last year about women working in labs, there was immediate response and immediate outcry.

      But, just a few months ago, my lab mate told a group of us that he was not invested in teaching his female summer student about how bonds between atoms exist in physical space. He said that she’s having trouble grasping the concept because women have inferior spatiotemporal skills. Everyone nodded along, and I, the only woman in the room, waited a little for someone to say something about this pronouncement—until the silence became unbearable. I mounted an angry, indignant response and found myself wondering what the past decade of women in science advocacy has really changed.

      Labs remain deeply misogynistic spaces. Not all labs, and not all to the same extent, but it only takes a quick poll of my friends for the stories of everyday sexism to come out: the lab that employs women, but only as administrative staff members and technicians who are expected to clean up after everyone else; my former lab mate, who is often the only woman at a meeting and is volunteered to take notes every time; the friend in my program whose adviser asks her to work on a poster’s color scheme. This is the kind of undervalued work women find themselves having to do, leaving others time to do more experiments, engage during meetings, and think critically about their science.

      I have plenty of my own stories as well. My male lab mate overhears my conversations and later sends me emails “mansplaining” my own research to me. A seminar speaker puts up a slide showing the molecular structures of different kinds of phospholipids and snickers at the ones with tails that are upside-down “V”s. “Those are the ones I call women,” he says. “Don’t they look like their legs are splayed?” The room guffaws. When I incredulously bring it up to a friend, I am told that I’m being too sensitive and that “it was only a joke.” That time I’m eating lunch in the conference room with my lab mates when the statistic that 1 in 4 college women experience sexual assault comes up. The men at the table immediately erupt into disbelief. “There’s no way that statistic is true. What does the study define as rape? There are four of us at this table right now—are you saying that one of us is a rapist?” My lab mate turns casually to my female summer student and says, “Hey, you’re in college. Have you ever been raped?”

      I am constantly livid.

      • @EvilWizardGlick

        > I am constantly livid.

        You’ve reason. I was in a 400 level Heat Transfer class, and the prof was lecturing about ‘intimate contact’ (Not that kind – the heat transfer kind)

        When he came up with “You girls should pay attention to this…” – JFC! I was working my way through school as a restaurant cook. I knew that pressing down on a burger would make it fry faster, I assume any women in class who were competent cooks already knew that as well. But this A-Hole had to try to make something of it.

        Forty years later, and it still pisses me off. I’ve worked with many highly competent female engineers. Just because men have a greater predilection for spatial reasoning in general does not mean that any one particular woman is going to be bad at it. Same for math – the world’s record for highest IQ goes to Marylin vos Savant, a mathematician.

        In general, women learn languages easier than men. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of very fine male linguists out there.

        Every, single, person on this planet should be judged solely on their own actions. Not the groups of which they are members: their own actions.

        Just because some white men have done some cool stuff doesn’t entitle all white men to shit on everyone else. Many white men are thoroughly incompetent at their jobs, and need to grasp at straws to make themselves feel valued.

        “I’m a white male! I’m superior! Aren’t I? Please say I’m superior or I’ll throw a hissy fit. Please! Please! Please!”

        No, jackass – the very fact that you need to cling to other people’s accomplishments shows that you are an inferior specimen. Do something on your own if you want to feel proud.

        What bothers me is even most professional women can not name three female scientists.
        Some can’t even name Madame Curie.
        I’ll even give them Anna Freud, even though she is not hard science.
        Then we have Hedy Lamar “Lamarr is also credited with being an inventor. At the beginning of World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes, which used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of jamming by the Axis powers.[5] Although the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of their work are arguably incorporated into Bluetooth technology, and are similar to methods used in legacy versions of CDMA and Wi-Fi.[6][7][8] This work led to their induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.[5][9]”.
        Einstein’s wife Mileva Marić “The question whether (and if so, to what extent) Marić contributed to Einstein’s early work, and to the Annus Mirabilis Papers in particular, is the subject of debate. Many professional historians of physics argue that she made no significant scientific contribution,[11] while others suggest that she was a supportive companion in science and may have helped him materially in his research.[12][13] The couple’s first son, Hans Albert, said that when his mother married Einstein, she gave up her scientific ambitions.[14]

        Part of the case for Marić as a co-author of some of Einstein’s early work, putatively culminating in the 1905 papers, is based on the following evidence: “The testimony of the well-known Russian physicist Abram Joffe, who gave the name of the author of the three Annus Mirabilis Papers as Einstein-Marity, erroneously attributing the addition of the name Marity, Marić’s official name, to a non-existing Swiss custom.”[15]

        In the paragraph in question, in which Joffe stated that “Einstein’s” entrance into the arena of science in 1905 was “unforgettable”, he described the author (singular) of the 1905 papers as “a bureaucrat at the Patent Office in Bern”, i.e., Albert Einstein.[16]

        Mileva told a Serbian friend, referring to 1905, that “we finished some important work that will make my husband world famous.”[17] Historians Highfield and Carter argue that this statement is “hometown folklore.”[18]
        John Stachel argues that letters in which Einstein referred to “our” theory and “our” work were written in their student days, at least four years before the 1905 papers. Stachel also suggests that some of the instances in which Einstein used “our” in relation to scientific work referred to their diploma dissertations, for which they each chose the same topic (experimental studies of heat conduction).[19] Stachel argues that Einstein used “our” in general statements, while he invariably used “I” and “my” when he recounted “specific” ideas he was working on: “the letters to Marić show Einstein referring to ‘his’ studies, ‘his’ work on the electrodynamics of moving bodies over a dozen times… as compared to ‘one’ reference to ‘our’ work on the problem of relative motion.”[20] Stachel also suggests that in two cases where letters from Marić survive that directly respond to those from Einstein in which he had recounted his latest ideas, she gives no response at all. Her letters, in contrast to Einstein’s, contain only personal matters, or comments related to her Polytechnic coursework. Stachel writes: “In her case we have no published papers, no letters with a serious scientific content, either to Einstein nor to anyone else; nor any objective evidence of her supposed creative talents. We do not even have hearsay accounts of conversations she had with anyone else that have a specific, scientific content, let alone claiming to report her ideas.”[21]
        Thus, while some scholars have argued that there is not enough evidence to support the idea that Marić helped Einstein to develop his theories,[22][23][24] others have argued that their letters suggest a collaboration between them, at least through 1901 before their children were born.[25]”
        And Hypatia “Hypatia[a] (born c. 350–370; died 415 AD)[1][5] was a Hellenistic Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician,[6] who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, then part of the Eastern Roman Empire.[7] She was a prominent thinker of the Neoplatonic school in Alexandria, where she taught philosophy and astronomy.[8][9][10] She is the first female mathematician whose life is reasonably well recorded.[11]”

      Women do science, but they can’t do science.

      Only white men can really, really do science. The rest is affirmative action.

        OTOH, you look down on people who actually accomplished things. How does that work, exactly? Who are you to judge those who can do that which you cannot?

        Here’s your homework. Please read the work of Richard Lynn, the world’s foremost researcher on IQ.

        Any research on IQ always takes ethnic background into account. The IQ of Europe has been dropping with the alien invasion.

      • @gym teacher – how the fuck did you get your teaching certificate without having a clue how testing works? Didn’t you get the memo? IQ tests are in disfavor because they don’t measure IQ.

        Instead, they measure general knowledge, math, reading, and sometimes abstract reasoning. ALL of these things can be learned and improved with practice. If we go by your criterion, second-generation Asians raised in America are superior to whites.

        But sure, let’s use your criterion. I tend to score somewhere north of 150, I hit 185 once (that would be the one that measured abstract reasoning and other higher level functions).

        So, okay, this is the internet – I could be lying about my IQ the same way as you lie about your height. So spend a few minutes basking in the glory of that – you made me make ridiculous statements to defend myself. Then take another few minutes to consider the possibility that I’m telling the truth. How impressed do you think I am by a washed-up, dumb jock’s claims of superiority?

        So, I propose we draw a different line. Instead of color, let’s divide people by raw intelligence. You are my intellectual inferior, come the revolution you will be my cabana boy. How far can you open your mouth without showing any teeth?

        > And so then the question becomes why have the Asians never advanced?

        I’ve actually already answered this: They have. China was civilized before Rome. Big architecture, big armies, metal working, etc, etc, etc. More recently, they had the world’s fastest supercomputer for five years running. They are ahead of us on solar power and mass transit.

        The real real question is why you have trouble perceiving the same reality as the rest of us. (that’s rhetorical – the answer is obvious to everyone who isn’t you)

        > Why has Europe dominated Asia economically, politically, culturally, and scientifically?

        See above. As of today, China has a bigger economy than the US. Culturally? You mean like Nascaar vs Shen Yun? McDonald’s vs. Kobe Beef? The Forbidden City vs. Las Vegas? Asia has produced some of the most beautiful art, dance, and literature in the world; the US some of the biggest crap on the planet. (reading comprehension test: I did NOT say that Europeans have not created some fine art – rather I am addressing your ill-informed question.)

        Politically? Let’s see, China is stepping on Tibet, Japan has been playing nice with its neighbors since WWII, while we stomped Vietnam and Korea into the dirt, and went on to destroy Afghanistan and Iraq. The US has the highest incarceration rate on the planet – China is #134, Japan #206, the only place in the entire region which might even approach our level is North Korea. Is that an accomplishment to be proud of?

        Again, the real real rhetorical question is what you are unaware of these facts.

        > Just why are Europeans so superior?

        What was that you said about poor rhetorical skills? That’s begging the question.

        The human race is about a half-billion years old. You’re looking at the last few centuries – a very small fraction of history – and saying “we won.” Epic fail, dude. Others have been on top in the past, others will be on top in the future.
