This is the winner of the 2024 "Miss France" competition.
Angélique Angarni-Filopon is the oldest winner of the French beauty pageant at age 34. She's a flight attendant from Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean.
Started in 1920, the Miss France pageant previously banned anyone over the age of 24 from entering, but those rules were changed in 2022.
Here's part of what Angélique had to say about her win:
'We're used to seeing beautiful Misses with long hair, but I chose an androgynous look with short hair,' she said after her victory, adding that every 'woman is different, we're all unique.'
'I would like to show that the competition is evolving and society too, that the representation of women is diverse, in my opinion, beauty is not limited to a haircut or shapes that we have ... or not'
This brings us to the inevitable reaction to Angélique's win.
For context, here are three of the runner-ups for the contest.
There were many accounts on X (accounts that like to blur the line between fighting clown world and actual racism) that posted things like this:
Let's put the intent of these accounts aside.
I want to focus on the question:
We can't answer that in 2024.
Why?
Because racist Marxism and all the other woke junk have made it impossible.
Thirty years ago, if a 34-year-old black woman with a pixie cut won a French beauty pageant, normal people wouldn't have thought much of it.
"Good for her!" would have been the general reaction. After all, back then we generally trusted our institutions and their experts (like pageant judges) to be impartial and objective in their decisions.
But after 30 years of the "diversity, equity, and inclusion" poison being injected into society's veins, we can't know for sure that these judges picked Angélique because of her beauty, or because they wanted a token black winner to stuff in their pockets.
Is Angélique the most well spoken? The most refined? The most accomplished? The most physically attractive? Or is she merely something different to tear down the "cishetero, white, colonial, Christofascist patriarchy" that we once called "Western civilization"?
I can't answer that, and neither can you.
For decades, almost every major corporation, university, and institution has actively discriminated against "whiteness" and "the patriarchy" in an attempt wage class warfare that will make the world more "equitable." But by cutting everyone off at the knees, we've arrived at the predictable Marxist endgame where no one trusts each other and everything is worse than before.
If this were 1990, I could note that all the judges in this pageant were female, something the men realized by sheer intuition.
Men and women rate attractiveness differently. If that common-sense statement that has been evident since the dawn of humanity is puzzling to you, feel free to read this article:
Consider:
There's also this viral experiment by Jubilee from 2020 where men and women rated a group of ladies by attractiveness.
This is no-brainer stuff: The kind of thing that an uneducated farmer in 11th-century Bohemia would have known from infancy.
But because it's 2024 and the Marxists have injected their brain rot into things, we've forgotten these simple truths.
Let's exclude the component of sexual attractiveness for a moment, since the decision to have female judges is a measure to protect against the sexual predations/interests of men (one of the reasons nations like the Netherlands have scrapped their national pageants in recent years).
That aside, it still shouldn't come as a surprise that women, as the "fairer sex" who value inclusion and agreeableness and kindness, would judge their fellow women by different standards than men.
When you add in the feminist programming that says we need to subvert "traditional" (AKA tried, tested, and true) norms of beauty, it also shouldn't be a shocker that the judges or their champion are celebrating an "androgynous look" that represents the "evolving" of society into a more "diverse" future.
This is the conversation that actually interests me: How men and women are different, how we've intentionally pretended that they aren't different, and how ignoring that bold and beautiful reality actually makes our world worse, not better or more "equitable."
(See: Men being let into women's bathrooms ... or even female beauty pageants.)
But we can't have that conversation because we're all left wondering:
Despite the fact that Angélique is beautiful, did she get the crown because she deserved it ... or because of the color of her skin?
How sad is it that we've arrived at this place?
Perhaps it's all a moot point, considering Europe's trajectory!
