You're missing the point. Its not just Miley Cyrus. Its not like she is the first person to be exploited for their sexuality, or to act a fool on television. Its that its increased in scale and acceptability. Its become less controversial or scandalous, and become increasingly expected of women in the spotlight. You can go back over the past ten years and be surprised at which women felt the need to be in Maxim magazine, or to be overly sexual in their music or acting, or to have "sex scenes" or nudity in their films. Again, class and good taste are losing traction. If that is what celebrity women are doing, then it is reflecting what ordinary women at least accept. I'm not saying all kinds of regular chicks at your job or family reunion or going to suddenly start twerking, its that ordinary chicks are less offended or upset at seeing other women degrading themselves as such. Its almost a paradigm shift. What used to be seedy, is considered mainstream. I ain't a prude by the way, its just a shame to see so many women acting so foolish, especially when at this time women are leading in educational attainment, careers, home ownership, financial compensation etc etc etc. Its a time where the ordinary woman should be more celebrity and in vogue than ever, and yet it seems the opposite.
Just realized Robin Thicke wasn't going for Beetlejuice.. dude was trying to be Cher
