Miss Pakistan

[Sandninjer]

Ladies, if you had the chance to be Miss Pakistan, would you? If yes, why? What would you hope to achieve by it? If no, why not?

Just curious about the Pakistani public’s opinion on this.

They’re gonna become like Miss Pakistan? Well, that’s the point. Not sure what that means. Care to elaborate?

No, because:

1. I do not like to be in the centre of attention.
2. Definitely not the kind of attention where they judge you for your body and looks.
3. No matter what they say, in the end you are just judged like a piece of meat.
4. What is the purpose/value of these misses? They want to help the poor and bring world peace etc. Very nice and stuff.
   But they are sponsered and then become an ambassador/the face for a charity. Good for them, but everything is taken care of by the agencies and the sponsors. So yes, what is their purpose?

So no.

   Almost every girl does
2. Definitely not the kind of attention where they judge you for your body and looks.
   It’s on the back of almost every girl
3. No matter what they say, in the end you are just judged like a piece of meat.
   Umm…ok?
4. What is the purpose/value of these misses? They want to help the poor and bring world peace etc. Very nice and stuff.
   It’s all about representing the country (though I also fail to see how…)
   But they are sponsered and then become an ambassador/the face for a charity. Good for them, but everything is taken care of by the agencies and the sponsors. So yes, what is their purpose?
   Agreed

So no.
Good

Le yes

Respect to you for your modesty. But one thing I disagree with - they don’t get sponsors by default, they actually have to go find them themselves through their own hard work. The agency doesn’t do anything at all. Traditionally, this may be true with other pageants, but I have it on good authority that the Miss Pakistan agency doesn’t pay a single penny for anything. So when it comes to helping deter stereotypes, build charities and other acts of good faith, it falls completely on the pageant herself.

From an Islamic perspective, I disagree with the whole idea completely, however, I’ve seen some good things come out of it as well (although not encouraging it).

I don’t know about the Miss Pakistan agency. But I have followed some Miss Pageants (some other countries) backstage, and there wasnt really any hard work involved. Sponsors, charities, Miss-tasks; everything is pretty much taken care of.

Yeah traditionally that’s what it should be like. But go figure, of course it’s going to be the Pakistanis that are gonna be kanjoos about it… sigh.

Re: Miss Pakistan

So you want a bunch of men to oogle women based on their bodies and whatever airhead idea works best for beauty pageants? Yeah I am one of those guys who considers Miss World or Miss Universe outdated. Women should not be objectified.

Never lose sight of the influence celebrities can have on people. One of the Miss Pakistan pageants along with Miss Israel got along pretty well during one of their world tours. In fact, so well that she (Miss Israel) even admitted that she was taught to hate Muslims, and that in their community, it was also expected. After their meeting, she was so impressed that she promised when she got back to Israel, she’d begin speaking out against the stereotype and help deter the ill feelings the Israeli people have toward Muslims and Pakistanis.

Again, I’m just choosing to look at things from the positive side. Let me reiterate that I don’t accept the idea overall.
