So when did it suddenly become Sadie Hawkin's Day?
It's far more challenging growing up these days, and desperate times call for desperate measures. That's where Miley Cyrus comes in. Seems that Miley has some sage advice to guide impressionable teen age girls through the murky waters of adolescence. It seems that Miley has been delivering some straight talked to her gal pals on what it takes to make it. For instance Miley is telling them to find themselves a boy friend and "hunker down". If they don't then all the good guys will be taken. That will leave them picking over the rejects and outcasts. Even worse a girl might find herself on her own, and eating her lunch by herself. Feminism might be fine, in books, but let's get real here. Do you want to get in on the game, or what?
Miley Cyrus is on the level
Getting a good guy - before they get taken - is only half the battle. Once you got him then you gotta keep him. Miley says that there's only one way to do that, and that is you gotta be ready to go all the way when the time comes. In plain English that means a girl has got to be willing to put out. if she doesn't then some one else will; probably one of those girls who weren't fast enough on the draw and got stuck with a loser. They're always looking to trade up! It's a dirty job but if you don't do it then some one else will.
Blow back
Naturally all this straight talk hasn't gone down too well with the girls' parents. So Billy Ray and his missus Tish have been fielding more irate calls than Don Imus after an on air attack of geriatric profanity disorder. It seems that the parents of Miley's little school chums want to know what in the hell Billy Bob is teaching his daughter, and what in the hell his daughter is passing on - besides STDs. It seems that Miley is something of a hero to her circle of friends, what with being a famous pop singer and all. The parents are afraid that their youngins are gonna swallow Miley's advice hook line and sinker, and faster than you can say Lewinsky.
Testing boundaries can't be condoned or "what's the point?"
Now this is the sort of thing that school girls have said amongst themselves since the stone age. However everyone knows the rules of the game - which is that parents aren't supposed to openly encourage or endorse this, or else it undermines the whole purpose of 'testing boundaries' and socially acceptable rebellion. Kids have to learn to do the wrong things the right way some how. So you can't blame the parents for reacting.
Another important lesson - Straight talk is bad PR
However you also can't help noticing that this is another PR black eye for Miley. Her father/manager Billy Ray has always taken such pains to preserve her wholesome, Disneyfied, family friendly image. That is when he isn't taking cheese cake shots of her in the shower and posting them online, or pimping her out to Vanity Fair. So this kind of Daisy Duke Dogpatch "you're never to young to get started" sex advice comes off as some what hypocritical. It's certainly inconsistent with her professed born again fundamentalist Christianity (in fact many are even starting to question her alleged virginity - what took them so long). Still you've got to give the Cyrus' some credit when it comes to Kentucky Fried child rearin'. For a guy who lets his 16 year old daughter's 20 year old underwear model boyfriend sleep over on a regular basis ("The kid's OK with me" BR was quited as saying),he has miraculously managed to avoid embarrassing Bristol Palin/Jamie Lynn Spears type situations, so far. So maybe there is something that we can learn from the Cyrus's. These are complicated times.
