Yes, the dehumanizing result is the same.

Both encourage competition where there should be none. Furthermore, both are basically the same thing for different sexes. In beauty pageants, girls are catty and horrible to each other emotionally, which is to say nothing of their twisted mothers. Obviously physical fights involving children encourage being horrible to each other physically. They are just different sides of the same coin. The potential for physical injury is obviously more of an issue in these fights, which would be one area I would say the one is worse than the other. That being said, I was speaking on the parenting aspect of it. Both are equal in the parenting department.
