I hate little girl pageants.
I mean, if you really want to crush a little girls self esteem and give her a head start into pre-pubescent torture, nothing gets the job done better than a little girl beauty pageant. Not only are they mortifying to little girls who DON’T want to be in them, but they also ruin little girls who ENJOY being in them! Take a sweet little 6 year old girl and put her in one of these, ok? So you’ve got sweet little angelic 6 year old Cindy, and Cindy is SO nice to everyone and always happy, not a care in the world. Suddenly, she’s pushed into this pageant, and does enjoy it, because now it makes Cindy enjoy new things. Then goes up against the competition, and this teaches her that she has to be a cutthroat evil maniacal little girl and win at ALL costs, no matter WHAT! And then Cindy WINS! She’s won, huzzah Cindy! Now she’s loved because she’s beautiful, and considered talented (because she’s beautiful, people generally throw the talented remark in there too, so as not to seem utterly vain), and she’s given money and pretty jewelry, and she feels like the queen of the world.
Let’s see what this has taught her. So Cindy has learned to try new things, so that when she gets older, having sex with men 30 years older than her, drinking and driving, and doing blow off the belly of a dead prostitute are all acceptable, because she’s trying new things, and that’s how you’re supposed to live, right? She’s also learned that she can’t take second best behind another girl, so she steals her best friends boyfriends, their fathers, brothers and fiances. She also believes it when a guy tells her she’s smart, because if she’s pretty she MUST be both, or she wouldn’t have won the competition, right? These things teach little girls HORRIBLE life lessons. Not only this, but it does damage to the girls who DON’T win! Now they’ve lost, they feel inadequate, less pretty, and not as smart or talented.
To prove my point, here is the following video, which I consider to be-because of the song used-almost like porn.
