Pageant requirements outdated???

Are you suggesting that the fact that a woman has been married and/or has children diminishes her beauty and intelligence?

No, but I am suggesting that the Miss America pageant (and thus Miss Deaf America pageant) wants to encourage more women to:

1) Not have sex before marriage
2) Finish college before having children

To this end, they seek role models who represent this view.

I strongly believe that women who are married or have had kids or are older than "27 years old as of the date of the pageant" are every bit as intelligent, beautiful, and wonderful as their unmarried and uncarrying counterparts. That just is NOT WHAT THE M.D.A. wants to promote to the public.
 
Oh, OK. It was the second sentence of your post that threw me off. But when I reread it, I could see that you were saying that that was the pageant's position.

Hold on, if they want to encourage for them not to have sex before marriage lol, they should check them for virgnity. A lot of them ARE not virgins........ lol wow if they had to require that they be virgins and have to go through a doctor's check up........there will not be many people qualifying...
I can see it now......on a date......a boy and girl making out....... boy tries to undo shirt, girl says, stop it honey, I want to be Miss America.........
that would be the new reject line...........

*snicker*

Point taken. They sure are encouraging the "virginity" aspect quite a bit, up to a point. After all, why would they bother with chaperones and rules about "public displays of affection?"

In my experience: two of the more recent MDA's, Lauren Teruel and Amy Wong, had to curtail their affection towards ANY male person in public, PRIOR to their winning MDA. Their behavior was being observed outside of regular competition time, and believe it or not, it would have affected their scoring, even if it did not affect their performances. Four other California contestants have explained that they had to tone down their behavior because of those rules (Sarahlena, Lexi, Stephanie and Evelina). Whether or not those rules are explicitly stated in the rulebooks, or implicitly stated in actions, or unfairly stated by some stupid person in charge of the pageant because of their moral values, these rules do affect how well the girls do on their ability to win the crown.
 
bit off topic but I used to hear that in the pageants they used to have sex with the judge to bribe them to vote high numbers for them
