It inspires girls to conform to impossible standards. Baket may auditions? Bakat may pamantayan kung talagang empowering? Baket frowned upon pa rin ang pagsali ng mga transwomen if this is a celebration? https://twitter.com/joanetampoco/status/1300792787793661955">https://twitter.com/joanetamp...

Various studies show na some of those who participate as kids sa beauty pageants had increased body dissatisfaction, high chances of eating disorders, difficulty in trusting interpersonal relationships, increased feelings of ineffectiveness as an adult etc.

Nakakalungkot lang kasi rito nagbabase ang kababaihan ng kanilang self-worth na hindi naman dapat. Kung sa social comparison theory, & #39;yung similarity mo sa iba ay ginagawa mong basehan ng sarili mong level of ability and succes.

It& #39;s either you feel bad because others are socially better than you or you feel good unfortunately because you& #39;re better than them. Pero syempre hindi naman lahat ganon, pero nae-encourage pa rin widely dahil firstly validation pa rin naman pinaghuhugutan :(

Kaya ayun sobrang nakatanim din ang internalized misogyny sa atin. Idk where I& #39;m going w this haha pero yes beneficial and positive ang effect ng pageants for some but naging obsession na rin ito and statistics show na these do more harm than good. Bukas naman po sa pagpupuna mwa

Bilang dagdag lang huhu nagiging site pa rin ito ng commodification at consumption dahil sa global markets at media institutions na hawak ng ruling class :( kaya harmful ito kaya ayonnn
