[Miley Cyrus] BANGERZ 4.10.13 - 1st Thread -

Sinead O'Connor's letter is SO important. Stop stanning for a moment and process her words of wisdom. She's a middle-aged woman who knows what she's talking about.

Miley was obviously going to respond in an immature and superficial way.

I'm so sick of the prostitution/rape culture in the music industry.

Rape culture is telling a woman she condones rape because she acts sexual.

Sinead's advice nobody asked for was basically shaming her for acting sexual and showing her body, stating she has mental or drugs issues and calling her stupid. Miley probably got offended and I would feel the same.

Why are people expecting her to break down? Isn't nobody watching her interviews or something? Girls sounds healthy and pretty down to earth. Now, just Justin Bieber is acting less and less conected to reality and nobody seens to bother about it.

I really can't decide what I should think about Sinead's letter. I would absoluetely agree with your last sentence but then again I think Sinead's opinion isn't well reflected at all and I have to 100% agree on what Andrenekoi said:

There IS a lot of prostitution/rape culture in the music industry. Not because the music industry is evil, but just because the music industry reflects the pop culture and therefore our everyday lifes. Therefore I think we should be sensitive about prostitution/rape culture in our everyday lifes.
But I hate it when women are slut shamed just because for acting sexual. And Sinead lost me when she wrote "Your body is for you and your boyfriend". The sentence should be "Your body is for YOU". Our sexuality is a part of our personality and I think there is nothing wrong expressing it in music or music videos and things like that.
I have to admit that I didn't watched any of Miley's videos or performances. I'm just here because I'm curious about her new album 'cos people really seem to like it. So I can't say if I think she's gone to far by acting sexual or not. But that isn't my point and Sinead seems to understand nothing when she writes "Your body is for you and your boyfriend".
First her body is just for herself and for nobody else, like I said before.
Second if Miley wants to give her body to another girl that's also perfectly fine.
Third if Miley wants to have sex just for fun with somebody she never sees again she can do this if she wants.
That Sinead slut shames her indirectly is anything but cool and this way she also contributes to rape culture.

I don't want to get into this conversion because I feel it has nothing to do with what Miley is doing with her life nor should it reflect the music industry since its not true, but I have to say:

This blog is a HORRIBLE example of what she declares 'rape culture' is and I wouldnt go by some sociopathic view of what SHE thinks it is. Her entire definition is WRONG and she doesn't even seem to understand the actual act of rape at all.

Sorry. Just had to speak my mind about it.

The problem is you obviously don't get what rape and rape culture is. Or you just didn't read the entry properly.
And I just threw it in not because it has anything to do with what Miley is doing but because of the discussion about Sineads open letter.
