Re: Miley vs Sinead feud...

Yeah, I don't like her choice of words in the letter that much, but I think people have to remember that this situation is different from regular people. Miley's every action becomes highly publicized. It's not about being a role model, because it's not her responsibility to teach young girls how to act, but it is about how this will follow her for the rest of her life. Her choices now aren't just a phase, they'll be brought up no matter what she does.

It's like the difference between young people wanting to experiment sexually in private, vs. doing it on camera for porn. While both can legitimately be just someone's desire to explore and have fun in their own way, one will stay private (usually) while the other will be rather permanent. So it's not bad advice to tell a young woman thinking of getting into porn to think veeery carefully about her choices and to imagine all possible consequences.

So in a way I don't really see it as slut-shaming... because as she says in the letter, her body is her own and she can do whatever she wants, just best to keep it more private because she's only 20 and she may not want these actions to last forever, and the industry really does try to sell women's bodies in a way, and it's pretty disturbing. Miley may be doing this of her own accord, but lets face it, she's also probably being nudged along in some ways because it sells.

Her body is her own, but like, if she were thinking of getting a tattoo of her boyfriend's name written across her face, it's not exactly wrong to be like "dude... rethink your choices." What she's choosing to do these days is going to follow her around for a long time.
