Are beauty pageants exploitive?

Beauty pageants are very nice but it is terrible how much they have to put there young children through just to get a trophy. I agree with the statement that Beauty Pageants are exploitive because they really are I can’t believe that parents would do that to there children. They put on costumes fake tans and makeup for 3 minutes on a crappy. I would never put my child through that stupidness its pointless.
