Do "beauty" contests (Mr. America, Miss America, etc.) serve any purpose in society?

I don't think so.
Personally, I think those kinds of contests just contribute to society's standard of what beauty is. Society has America thinking that this is the definition of beauty

Which, don't get me wrong, she is beautiful, but this is the standard that America is set at. This is what little girls look at and are told they're supposed to be like.
But this is beauty too.
So she's thicker. What's wrong with that? Both of these women are gorgeous.
So, no. I don't think those contests really serve a purpose. For most girls, they set unrealistic standards and only cause trouble.
