I think the nature of these contests is okay, but the swimming suit sections are rather pornographic. |
 | Antony Yin BU Year 2 Digital Graphic Communication |
It depends. If you judge the contestants critically, it is discriminatory. But if you look from an aesthetic point of view, it is not. |
 | Ivy Man HKUST Year 1 BBA |
No, it's just a chance for the women to show off their beauty for public recognition. |
 | Chan Ying Kit LC Year 1 BBA |
Yes, such contests demand the contestants to do something ordinary women would not do in their normal daily life. |
 | Lawman Law CUHK Year 3 Mathematics |
Yes, especially beauty contests nowadays. They have changed from the appreciation of women's beauty to commercial competitions between TV stations. |
 | Brian Chan City U Year 2 Accounting |
No, because there are "beauty contests" for men too. People tend to give more attention to those for women, as they have become a tradition. |
