People have been flooding Twitter to express their outrage after a man was crowned “Miss Netherlands” 2023.
Rikkie Kolle, a 22-year-old man, beat out nine women in the competition to attain the title of “Miss Netherlands” on Saturday.
The issue sparked outrage on social media as many users said the win showed we are experiencing a trend of erasing women by replacing them with men.
The Miss Netherlands competition is part of Miss Universe, which is supposed to be a women-only competition.

Kolle will now move forward to compete in the 72nd Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador later this year.
A man just won ‘Miss Netherlands’ 2023,” Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek tweeted.
“Considering the fact that we live in a post-truth world, I wasn’t even expecting anything else,” she added.
“It’s all so predictable and unoriginal at this point.”
