@morecowbell@mastodon.social ——> I agree. Beauty pageants are just one of many long running methods of mentally and physically programming girls and women for lives of abject subservience to men along the lines depicted in the Stepford Wives movie and the Total Woman ideology of the 1970s. Among the 21st century versions we have the oxymoronic “Bimbo Feminism,” the new Barbie movie, a Supreme Court justice straight out of the Handmaiden’s Tale (Coney-Barrett), bans on abortion and birth control, etc. The people ramming this stuff down our throats are obviously terrified of the changes that have occurred or will emerge in the future when girls and women free themselves of legal and social determinants of femininity.
