"Miss America"... Is That Still A Thing?

By Baxter

It seems like every profession is being outed vis-a-vis bad behavior by the guys who inhabit it. Producers, actors, symphony conductors, CEOs, politicians, journalists, chefs, team owners — you name it, no field is immune. Because men are jerks, and they hold the reins of power pretty much everywhere.

With the possible exception of Al Franken, whom we've blogged about before, we cats are generally encouraged that abusive men are getting their just deserts. But we have to admit that we really don't care about the latest boor outing — Sam Haskell, the now-suspended head of the Miss America Organization.

Don't get us wrong — no Miss America contestant deserves to be referred to in a Haskell email as a "cunt." But gosh, in this year-of-our-Lord-almost-2018, beauty pageants are surely out of date, yes? There's no reason in this day and age for women to find affirmation by parading around in swimsuits and high heels — right? Can't we just disband the whole thing, and call it a day?

Well, we can discuss that. In the meantime, we think we know who the real cunt is: Sam Haskell. Screw you, asshole. We cats HISS.
