Eve Gilles became the first contestant in the history of the Miss France pageant to win with a short haircut—and conservatives are furious.

At this point, being a conservative is not so much a political ideology as it is basically being constantly outraged over nothing. That, of course, means you must constantly find new things to scream about. Enter, Miss France Eve Gilles.

Conservatives are furious that Gilles, the winner of the country's recent pageant, has short hair, because pixie cuts are apparently "woke."


Gilles said that she chose the short hairstyle as a nod to loosening up beauty standards and, reportedly being the first to win the Miss France competition with short hair, that seems like a worthy goal. Unless you're a conservative, that is.

After her win, Gilles, a 20-year-old student from the country's Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, said:

“We’re used to seeing beautiful [women] with long hair, but I chose an androgynous look with short hair."
“I would like to show that the competition is evolving and society too, that the representation of women is diverse. In my opinion beauty is not limited to a haircut or [body] shapes that we have."
"No one should dictate who you are… every woman is different, we’re all unique."

To conservatives, this is an outrage. They took primarily to X, aka Twitter, to shriek about how the Miss France competition has now gone "woke" and become about "inclusivity" on the basis of—this cannot be stressed enough—a pixie cut.

We can probably all agree that a pixie cut is barely scratching the surface of inclusivity, but whatever.

Absurdly, politicians then stepped in to defend Gilles. Green Party legislator Sandrine Rousseau said of the uproar:

"So, in France, in 2023, we measure the progress of respect for women by the length of their hair?”

Apparently so. Fabien Roussel, a leader of the country's communist party, also defended Gilles, saying:

“Support for Eve Gilles, elected Miss France, who is already suffering the violence of a society which does not accept that women define themselves in all their diversity.”

This uproar over a beauty pageant winner's pixie cut struck most normal people on social media as ridiculous.







How nice it must be to have so few real problems that a pixie cut is what gets you outraged.

Anyway, we wish a speedy recovery to all those struggling with Eve Gilles' pixie cut. You will get through this.
