Don't pay any attention to the insults on here Yusuf. Just because some people don't like your idea, doesnt make you a "stupid man" a "monkey" or that you have an "unenlightened mind". What is up with you guys?? Why so many rude comments on here. If you don't like his game either don't post, or just say you don't like it. You don't need to belittle anyone!! GGGRRRRRR! makes me soo angry

It is beautiful how men invent female beauty contests and entertain themselves by seeing women fight over which one is the most beautiful  . Well... we actually hate these contests, but hey - we can do that for money, right? ... well, maybe not everybody would.
Somebody start a 'mister turkishclass' contest please to make it less sexist.

I didn't see the contest as sexistic or anything in any way, for the reason that Yusuf was the one who came up with the idea in the first place! Knowing him slightly gave me the feeling he had not such intentions what so ever.
I don't understand the fuss about it. It's not like the 'miss turkishclass' will get something to make the others jealous and it's not like you should be ashamed if you're not voted for???

Deli kizin, I don't think the comments are about Yusuf or maybe even this contest in particular, but about such things in general. It's about the roots and consequenses of sexism in the real world; judging women by their beauty is like judging men by their muscles or aggressiveness.
Why don't we just name things straight and make "the sexiest female and male" contest?

Well I guess Yusuf made his point by saying it was nót only on beauty, but also for intelligence or kindness..
And I think the comments were against Yusuf, as he's even been named to be unenlightened. But I find him to be one of the kindest souls at this website, not to forget MrX (i keep forgetting that one )
I do realize the consequences of such behavior in general, but I think I'm not so feministic after all.

Deli kizin, comments were directed to Yusuf, but not exactly to him as a person, as I'm sure everybody can guess that the poor man didn't really mean to imply anything so derogatory.
Well yeah, someone is sexy not only because of the size of her breasts (although that's kinda necessary) but also by her intelligence (although that depends on the intelligence of the guy).
Again, the word 'beauty' is not equivalent with 'sexy' which is what such contests are all about in the real world.
By the way, feminism is NOT the opposite of chauvinizm, it is about equal rights and equal responsibilities of both men and women.

Well I never watch such contests, nor do I watch programmes like America's Next Top Model, because I agree with you  They are usually about being sexy.. and I think my idea about sexy comes closer to the definition of beauty.
Anyway, this discussion enrolled because of Yusuf's idea, so if we knew he never meant such a thing, I wonder why we're discussing it in the first place.
