I know this is shocking. I have one, and despite my best efforts at trying to keep her focused on Beanie Babies and anything possibly infantalizing, she's moved on to other ideas.
Do we really give a flying crap about this? This is important? Or do we make it so with all of this second-wave feminist hand-wringing prude crap?
The sooner we accept that children are horny little devils just about the minute they hit puberty (which, last I knew, was well before Cyrus' rather robust 16), the sooner we can have a REAL discussion about this and other silliness.
We magically expect girls to be angels until 18, and even then, they can only express themselves certain ways. What bollocks. Girls are busy trying to make boys (and girls) horny, and boys are busy jerking off every second nobody is looking.
This is life. Accept it.
