What's the Point, Then, Of Calling It A Beauty Contest

 In news from the UK: "Beauty pageant queens to be judged on CPR skills instead of ‘outdated’ bikini modeling: ‘I’m glad I know how to do it’." The article relates that "[i]n a move to modernize a 97-year-old [Miss England] competition and scrap its outdated swimwear round, contestants will now be judged on life-saving skills like chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation," and noting that "[t]he new challenge encourages contestants to showcase CPR knowledge in creative ways, either by teaching it in their communities or sharing techniques online."
