Miss World 2006

Miss World 2006 is fresh-out-of-the oven now. She is sweet and beautiful. No objection. But a look at her age astonished me. 18! And the first runner-up is 17 and the third is 20! I checked the Miss World website, but failed to find any criteria/requirements for MW contestants. I didn't watch this beauty contest thus had no clue why this Czech teenager won this contest. It is because of her appearance or both her external and internal assets? I have the urge to question what the result implies and what this contest implies at all. Miss America beauty contest has been viciously against by women in the U.S. since mid 1990s. Because more and more woman realize the sole purpose of this kind of contests is to entertain men in the U.S. by providing a new young female idol/doll every year. All assets the contestants need are their beauty. North American women have realized the deep underlying gender discrimination and they started to boycott all of them. Come back to the topic of Miss World 2006. At age 18, or 17, what assets do these girls possess besides youth and beauty? Isn't the newly crowned Miss World another fresh female idol/doll for the man-controlling world?
