It depends. I think for teenagers and children - yes. It makes them think that all that matters are looks and it also makes them feel like they need to be a certain size and look a certain way in order to be successful in life.
On the other hand, grown women can handle these types of situations better.

Some girls can only get by with beauty contests, let them have their one thing. The smarter girls can come my way, well as long as they look like the beauty contestants

Who twisted their arms & forced them to enter? My daughter is in one right now, Miss Auckland 2006, & she got there all by herself.

I wouldn't personally do it, but no. I think it is up to the person to decide how they are comfortable with them selves.
