I have diligently avoided this Wrecking Ball video, figuring that anyone who needs to get nekkid in a video probably isn’t worth listening to, but thanks to all the feminist attention it has received I finally relented – I wonder if idiot women like Sinead O’Connor and Annie Lennox know what they are doing for this girl’s record sales? No, of course not. If they did, they wouldn’t be idiot women.
Pushed over the line by this bizarre claim of misogyny by Lennox, I finally took a gander at the controversial tidbit and I have to say that only by the standards of the typical muddle-headed feminist would this thing be seen as misogynist. It’s basically just a mediocre singer using her fairly nice body to get attention by riding a wrecking ball while naked, and other than spinsterish schoolmarms and feminists (two groups between which I suspect there is a significant overlap) no one should find it offensive.
As for young Miley, she’s no great beauty but she is kind of cute, and I for one would have no problem letting her ride my ball any time she wants. Heck, if she asks nicely I will even let her ride both of them. And don’t get me started on what I would like her to do with my sledgehammer…
