In life women has many facets.They balance various roles that may have simply fallen on their laps via twist of fate as well as those they have chosen with great determination and defied their boundaries.

One way to empower these women is through beauty pageants.However, in some circumstances beaty pageants are satire that’s why ohters argue that its not a good women empowerment.

First level of analysis is the fact that via these beauty pageants women are given recognition based only on beauty, charisma,  poise and glamour.

Clearly, beauty title holder aspirants have gone through various screening process to showcase their physical attributes which only goes to show that what’s onthe outside matters more than anything else to well deserve to take home the crown as their recognition.

If we try to look at it on a deeper level we can say that it fails to empower women.It does not even reflect the real world letting these women to found their voice and their true selves.

However, lets try to butter the bread with both sides.Beyond these women’s outstanding physical attributes,charming personality,explicict grace  beauty pageants radiates the magnificent aura and image of women.

Plus, they were also given a chance to show their intellect by responding brilliant in the question and answer portion that gaves us even greater reason to respect and admire them.

Therefore, we can say that the idea that women are gentle yet strong willed, confident yet compassionate and feminine yet able to hold her own company of men are mutually exclusive in both paradigms.
