BAN Child Pageants NOT Drag Shows......

35. :) Agree. But they've already been studied and we already know

any adverse effects of "beauty" competitions aren't even close to significant enough to justify governmental banning.

Maybe the enthusiasm for government suppression of individual rights on this thread alone might encourage some to read a little about left wing authoritarianism. Not everyone on the left is committed to principles of individual rights and freedoms. Of course not everyone opposed to beauty pageants is authoritarian either, but the call for government to ban anything for ideological reasons is intrinsically authoritarian, whether imposed to suit a minority or majority.

Hard to believe that before 2016 disastrously put LW authoritarianism on the national stage most experts were so focused on the enormous, and horrendously proven, dangers from its more aggressive twin, RW authoritarianism, that they didn't bother to notice it.
