You know, I was of mixed minds about this whole Miley Cyrus controversy. On the one hand, I'm kind of bored with hyper-sexualized imagery everywhere everywhere everywhere. Isn't that what internet porn is for? Do we need to have sex in every aspect of everything? Can't we just have a conversation?
On the other side, I was like, well, this chick's like 20 years old. She's exploring life and sexuality, and she has a hot little body to go along with it. That shit doesn't last forever. Do it to it, girl.
So when Sinead O'Connor wrote her first open letter to Miley, I understood O'Connor's side, but I also felt that she didn't respect Miley's agency enough. The world is a different place than it was when Sinead O'Connor was first taking the stage, and I don't think she should judge a woman for her choices. Even back then, I don't think it would have been right to do so.
But, O'Connor's concern as a woman who has lived some life was obvious. There was some advice to take, and some advice to leave. I thought it was, overall, a nice thing to do.
But then did you see Miley's response? I am no longer on Miley Cyrus' side.
