So your opinion is that allowing women to speak is a threat to conservatives?

It turns out Miss America was always a bit of a talent show while Miss USA is the beauty contest.

If you want to check out young women in swimsuits, the internet has you covered. There is zero reason in 2018 to ask young women hoping to win scholarships to parade around in a bikini so men can stare at them.
And judging by the revenue numbers - ogling women is very much alive and well. The venue has moved from broadcast TV in public, to internet computer screens in private.

You know exactly what I am saying - and you are turning it 180 degrees out of phase.

The networks will not allow conservatism to be viewed as a common sense viable alternative to elite liberalism.

Puritanical busybodies are now Left-Wing.

The removal of the swimsuit competition doesn't bother me mind you. I couldn't care less about beauty pageants. Funny thing is, mostly women watch the silly things anyways.
I find this an advancement for the overall dignity of women. Only misogynous men could possibly have a problem with this. Objectifying women never advanced any human civilization.

Nevertheless, if this is such an important issue to conservatives, perhaps Paul Ryan or Trump will release a statement of disapproval of this decision.

Couldn’t care less about pageants therefore they can do what they want.

They're going to remove their swimsuits? Who said progress is bad?

I'm Libertarian, not Conservative, so I'm not sure I care what Trump and Ryan do. Is it progress. Sure, I'll give you that. The big problem I'm seeing is that many proponents of getting women to cover up are the same people who hide the crimes of Muslim Rape Gangs. I think turing 11, 12 and 13 year old girls into sex slaves raped as many as 50 times a day is a bigger issue than a bunch of aspiring super-models getting to pass on wearing a bikini and heels on stage. The political movement that got the swimsuit competition eliminated is the same movement that knowingly and actively ignored the Muslim Rape Gang crisis for 40+ years, all in the name of being inclusive and progressive. It's the Progressive Movement in both cases and it absolutely is political.

You will notice that Progressive media barely mentions Muslim Rape Gangs, but actively demonizes anyone calling attention to them. Democrats in the US avoid the issue. The Progressive mayor of London is right at ground zero for the problem and Sadiq Khan can't be bothered to say a word.
