Hit 40 yet? Your sex life is over, so says Miley Cyrus.

[Prism]

134. She's being nailed because of sexism

There's nothing particularly wrong with Miley. She hasn't said or done anything several dozen haven't said and done before her. But, because she's a girl, and a former "good girl" at that, we now have to give her a nice social trial by fire as soon as she expresses her sexuality. God knows, we don't heap this scorn about male singers who run around with their abs and sexually suggestive poses.

But Miley is our 15 minute culture Satan, so let's have at her. Girls expressing sexuality must be burned at the stake.

Which is actually frankly weird to see who's leading this particular crusade, but meh.

As for her talents. She actually has a nice voice. I enjoy Wrecking Ball as a bit of pop. And the video of her purely singing expresses extraordinary sorrow and prettiness with very clean vocals. It's very affecting.

Yeah, then she porns it on up on the ball itself, but the woman is not bereft of talent in the slightest.

It's a shame how easily we can be goaded into cultural torch and pitchfork mode.

As for her comments, buh, she was clearly being somewhat facetious there. She knows how to yank a chain. So she yanked this one hard. Looks like she succeeded.
