Is Miss Universe Fat Phobic, Or Body Inclusive? | Episode 04

At The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu utilized her rising popularity to talk about menstrual equity. Her mother being a gynecologist imparted this knowledge to her daughter about how women’s health is so important. They also proceeded to talk about how she was bullied online for gaining weight after the competition. This raises a number of questions. Does the competition equalize a woman’s body weight with her beauty? Is there a stereotypical bodily appearance attached to the contestants? Is the competition focusing on impacting lives globally through the steps the contestants take? Or did the competition in fact emerge to objectify women?
