If I did something I was ashamed of or regretted and someone said I was their role model in that insurance I would probably over react.

She definitely holds pretty intense views regarding feminism and it would be strange if those views did not form a practical day to day part of her thinking or use of language.

I think you have a good point. I tend to try and take people at face value. I also think a consideration of her sense of social responsibility as the role model in this situation and how her own hurts and regrets would influence that along side her views and beliefs are necessary as well.

Yes, she is punting feminism. Is she using her position as a rule model to push it or is she pushing her personal views as a heartfelt way to try and prevent Miley from being hurt the same way she was, driven by the sense of accountability that comes from being mentioned as the inspiration for the video?

I can't make that call.
