I don't remember kiddie pageants when I was little, but then again I'm a boy so maybe I didn't notice. We did have "talent shows" which were for both boys and girls and I think those are a fun experience for everyone.
I agree with your point. We all know men oggle over the girls in Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants which I ok since they are 18 and over. But dressing up pre-teens like they were adults and putting them on stage is just wrong IMHO. Maybe it is good for their esteem and other benefits that I won't argue, but unfortunately there are too many creeps in this world that tend to ruin things for everybody.
