In reply to the discussion: Slut shaming of Miley Cyrus is sexism and racism in action [View all]Jeff In Milwaukee
(13,992 posts)Based on the feminism101 definition, which includes simply "acting on sexual feelings," if Miley Cyrus takes it up the ass from a Missouri mule while on stage, nobody should have any problem with that. Nobody should be allowed to say, "Jesus Christ, that's really inappropriate" because she's merely expressing her sexuality.
There's a line between expressing sexuality and the crass exploitation of sexuality. We clearly disagree as to whether she crossed that line.
Here's a feminist thought for you: Entertainment industry executives (nearly all of them male) are using this woman and her apparent willingness to debase and degrade herself on national television to make this year's numbers. They're taking a child (yeah, yeah, she's all of twenty years old) and sexualizing and objectifying her for their profit.
Personally, I have a problem with that.
