Any society which devalues the talent of some of it's own members as a group based on superficial biases, is ultimately doomed. Not only is talent lost , but the cancers of elitism and resentment go unchecked.

...got it.

Does anyone else find it ironic how these sex-negative "feminists" manage to pretend that women have no agency at all?

Mind you, Miley isn't my cup of tea. I find her as seductive as a bucket of cold bait. However, she is a fully empowered woman, already far richer than I'll ever be, doing what she wants to do. So how that becomes an example of how "the media" treats women (badly, one assumes)... just tortures logic beyond my ability to understand it.

Good points though, just needs to be slowed down for us old people.....
