Miss USA was founded by Catalina Swimwear. Catalina Swimwear was created by John C Bentz. Swimwear was created by Carl Jantez. All men. The pressure to feel beautiful and accepted outwardly as a woman takes a lot to get over. Women are objectified and while some go to these pageants to get their confidence from objectification, some love to walk which isn’t easy and takes training and some years. Just because you genuinely love fashion, heel mechanics, makeup, doesn’t mean they can’t come together in one space and enjoy it like everyone else has their hobbies or paid spaces. To win a crown is ridiculous and makes it toxic I agree, perhaps it should be woman’s only and not broadcasted for the ones who really love it. But some women can be creeps too 😭. I use to love to model, the actual skill aspect but the attention part, drama, and fake confidence is a turn off, not just from men. We all end up falling for stupid things that don’t matter in one way or the other. Women fall for pageants and the beauty world easily. It takes experiences and finding the soul to understand we don’t need this nor to win a crown when beauty is truly within.

Why do companies make you sign your rights away to policies and procedures they dont adhere to or plan to adhere to themselves. Companies have onboarding and codes of conduct employees must follow, but they do not hold themselves to the same standards. They will fire you at will, reprimand you, make false accusations, or worse. However, the same set standards are invisible to them. Yes, there should be standards, but EVERYONE SHOULD FOLLOW THE SAME STANDARDS they promote. Where are our protections as workers. I'll tell you, the majority of it gets discarded as they force you to sign away your rights in order to protect themselves from wrong doing, before you are hired and throughout your tenure. Forcing and promoting at the very least arbitration. As for H.R., which is supposed to be there maintaining order and civility, why has it shied away from ensuring proper decorum is maintained by all parties?
