nobody's died from it, as far as I know. I had the misfortune of seeing that Kardashian person in a site that popped up - talk about nearly naked exhibitionism that actually DOES harm - presenting an unrealistic image for young girls to try to emulate. At least Miley is real and honest about herself. That actually is pretty incredible when you think about what so many others have put their bodies through to market themselves. I've always thought she was smart, talented and probably a very good person.

Just keep your clothes on, girl, we'd like to see your positive public personal, not your privates. libdem4life May 2015 #6

Oh for the love of... NuclearDem May 2015 #7

Exactly why you think covering up is somehow not PC? Sorry, her crotch does not interest me at all. libdem4life May 2015 #23

Exactly why you think her attire has anything to do with this story I don't know. NuclearDem May 2015 #26

Perhaps, but that's how she became "well known". Just hoping she keeps her clothes on...while libdem4life May 2015 #30

The fuck does it matter to you what she wears? NuclearDem May 2015 #31

Yes, the "F word." NuclearDem May 2015 #39

You have to be kidding me...now being grown up is stripping. Not. libdem4life May 2015 #41

Slut shaming isn't particularly grown up. NuclearDem May 2015 #42

You said it, not me. I think her antics are inappropriate. Maybe now she's famous libdem4life May 2015 #46

"You said it, not me." NuclearDem May 2015 #48

Give me a break...just keep your clothes on? The above is what you said...I wouldn't even libdem4life May 2015 #57

by the way the term slut shaming is a criticism of those who try to put a slut label on liberal_at_heart May 2015 #71

Really? Initech May 2015 #9

Really. libdem4life May 2015 #24

Lol, you old timers crack me up. Madonna was evil too! Nt Logical May 2015 #28

You're right. Stripping and "twerking" onstage were beyond Elvis' Swivel Hips. I'll cop to being libdem4life May 2015 #32

People like you were whining about Elvis in the old days! Nt Logical May 2015 #35

And you know this exactly how? libdem4life May 2015 #38

Parents hated Elvis! Do more reading! Nt Logical May 2015 #55

And that is relevant exactly why? I was a teen in those years. He didn't strip. libdem4life May 2015 #59

His gyrating pelvis was yesteryear's twerking. liberal_at_heart May 2015 #61

Hate to disagree, it's quite different. Can agree to disagree. Peace. libdem4life May 2015 #64

Of course we can agree to disagree but I will continue to stand up for every young woman's liberal_at_heart May 2015 #67

Even Brittney cleaned up her act. Oh, but the "everyone does it" ...my question is libdem4life May 2015 #51

To be strong enough to stand up for your freedoms. Yes I would be very proud. liberal_at_heart May 2015 #54

How condescending rjsquirrel May 2015 #77

get off my lawn and cover yourselves for God's sake! liberal_at_heart May 2015 #49

Sensitive much? Where did I tell someone how they can dress? It's an OPINION libdem4life May 2015 #62

I am sensitive. I have a young adult daughter and all she hears all the time from liberal_at_heart May 2015 #66

And when did this become political? All over the proverbial cultural map here. libdem4life May 2015 #68

Young women get judged too much in this country. Why can't we concentrate on their talents, liberal_at_heart May 2015 #69

Wonder why she isn't teaming up with Cyndi Lauper justiceischeap May 2015 #8

That's what I was wondering. That would be a great collaboration. liberal_at_heart May 2015 #50
