I don't understand why there is this public fear of Miley's sexuality. She's a 20 year-old girl. I am in law school on an undergraduate-filled campus, and I see girls her age wearing shorts with their ass literally hanging out on a daily basis. I'm fine with that; anything to wipe away the terrible puritan values that still linger in this country. The issue, I think, building on other comments here, is that she is not in control of herself. Though who is at 20? Again, I go back to college where I saw plenty of girls here age at the whims of "greek life" and all its hazing and binge drinking. Binge drinking is unhealthy, cocaine use is unhealthy, but baring your back in a music video is unhealthy? Not in my book. I understand that there are record execs exploiting her sexuality, but I don't think it's quite in the way the Sinead thinks. Seriously, what guy is watching Miley Cyrus videos because they're sexy (in favor of porn or the million other options on the internet, c'mon). Instead, maybe execs are exploiting the fact that normal 20 year old girls want to live vicariously through an overtly sexual celebrity and therefore the songs sell?
This is not exactly something I am proud of, but I have been pretty deep down the porn rabbit hole. Deep enough to come full circle right out the other side where you can only get off on normal pictures of women. I am willing to bet my life that there are guys who would watch that music video instead of porn, because I was one of those guys at one point in my life. I agree with the pimping analogy. She is being exploited and if she doesn't wise up now she will when the only thing she can do is regret her decisions.Seriously, what guy is watching Miley Cyrus videos because they're sexy (in favor of porn or the million other options on the internet, c'mon).
