Miley Cyrus: Insult to Injury

Posted on | September 26, 2013 | 47 Comments

Alessandra gets angry about Miley Cyrus trying to use complaints about a “double standard” to defend her decadent behavior:

What few people have analyzed is how much liberals have normalized the worst of sexism in the name of liberation (sexual or for women). It’s exactly analogous to their claim that they are “liberating” homosexuals when the only thing they are doing is normalizing perverted and dysfunctional people in terms of sexuality. . . .
There was a time when Miley’s behavior would have been both frowned upon as being whorish and vulgar, because such attitudes and behaviors degrade women and sexuality . . . Then came feminism and criticized the sexual objectification of women, their exploitation, etc. And afterwards, as liberals pushed more and more to degrade women and sexuality, in a move that increasingly included women as protagonists, there wasn’t much of anyone in the liberal camp left to criticize this war on women (and sexuality), since the more liberals degrade, the more they claim they are normal and legitimate – all in the name of liberation. (Nothing like adding insult to injury!)
Basically the only people to call for respect of women and a wholesome sexuality today are social conservatives. Unfortunately, if taken as a whole, this is a group which has a serious public communication skills deficit.

You can read the whole thing. I will quibble with Alessandra’s criticism of the “public communications skills” of social conservatives. The real problem, as I see it, is two-fold:

Social conservatives have allied themselves with the Republican Party in a way that makes them largely dependent on the GOP, which has shown itself willing to exploit social conservatives (when this is deemed beneficial to Republican political fortunes) or conversely to scapegoat social conservatives (when the GOP needs someone to blame for its defeats).
Because academia, the news media and the entertainment industry are so dominated by liberals, it is very difficult for social conservatives to combat the Left’s harmful stereotypes about uptight puritanical right-wing “christofascists.” Furthermore, it is difficult even for social conservatives to locate their own natural leaders and spokesmen, when the liberal media focus their attention on the most idiotic kooks among social conservatives, and when various charlatans and hucksters are simply scamming for dollars, Elmer Gantry-style.

There are sane, intelligent and articulate social conservatives, but you’re never going to see them on the nightly network news, nor on the op-ed pages of the Washington Post or New York Times. But we must accept these disadvantages as inherent to the guerrilla struggle of the culture war, and find ways to overcome them.

I’ll pop over and read her piece, but I would suggest that Item 2 of your quibbles is by far the most pertinent. Political party differences notwithstanding, both the Dems and the GOP at least publicly maintained a nod toward social values and conservatism. It wasn’t until the Dems surrendered the ideological helm of the party to the far left wing, commencing with McGovern in ’72, that they began veering off toward Sodom and Gomorrah on the fast track. Of course, that far left, progressive philosophy also infected the universities and newsrooms about the same time as the radicals mainstreamed themselves. They’ve now percolated through the institutions and we’re fighting a losing battle trying to maintain dignity, especially where, as I indicated in the post below, we’re labeled as possessing various “phobias,” “bigotries” and the like.

It was not until about 1985 that ‘sexual orientation’ was listed as a protected category in the municipal code of the City of New York and as late as 1993 there was enough resistance among the high command and in a Democratic Congress to frustrate the Clinton initiative to normalize sodomy in the ranks of the military. The dam did not really break until around 1997/98, although active criticism of the gay lobby by (elderly) liberal Democrats dissipated around about 1982.

The media’s a real challenge and one that must be overcome as we move ahead.

On the positive side, there’s likely a decent market for family oriented entertainment if entertaining stories can be devised around our core values conflicting with the destructive forces of liberalism.

That’s a nice thought, but even given the financial success of such fare in the past, Hollywood insists upon putting the same crap out time and again. They’re playing to the various salons in Progville. I tend to be pessimistic about co-opting the media given the decades long head start it has.

Hi Robert,

Totally agree on #1.

And on #2, we also agree completely on: Because academia, the news media and the entertainment industry are so dominated by liberals, it is very difficult for social conservatives to combat the Left’s harmful stereotypes about uptight puritanical right-wing “christofascists.”

I agree this liberal domination is the problem. In academia, it will be very hard to change, because they have a stronghold on hiring. But I find it hard to understand that the same should happen for the media and the entertainment biz’s, because with adequate funding, socons could do a lot more. And it’s not only liberals who have money in this country! For example, a TV series for adults, that presents socon views and values in an engaging way. Is there no channel where this could air? Is there no one to write and produce one? And even the news media, we find a lot more news analysis and coverage online, with news outlets and magazines, and sites and bloggers, than on the air. (not counting radio). It seems odd to me, for example, that many of the issues you or I address are not addressed on TV. There are hundreds of channels and opportunities… Is it exclusively a question of liberal domination, or do we lack more people with a variety of excellent communication skills?

Concerning the communication skills deficit, I think most socons I know of are religious and they mostly know how to talk about their views using a religious framework.This drives away people who are not religious, but who we need to and can reach. These are people who would be very amenable to the wholesomeness of the socon view of society, if it were presented in a non-religious context. And this could serve to diminish antagonism related to religious people. Socons have a major public rebranding challenge facing them, because liberals have succeeded, as you well note, in branding socons as awful AND backwards, and branding their own junk of ideology as “progress.”

“There are sane, intelligent and articulate social conservatives,”

Of course there are, I didn’t mean there weren’t, but in a media and academic space dominated by liberals, the visibility of these socons is so limited for the public at large. While the potential of the Net is enormous and wonderful, in part because it is so accessible, and there are no geographic boundaries, I still think that TV is the medium for shaping hearts and minds of large swaths of the public. Then again, there’s a lot that can be done on the Internet.

An example of what I think we need more of is this German movie: Big Girls Don’t Cry. It does exactly what I was talking about above. Dramatizes conflicting ideologies through the characters and exposes how harmful a liberal ideology is. Mind you, this is a movie for young people, not adults. You never see stories like this on TV or in the US, where the poor Catholic girl is the one who shows character and the rich, hip liberal character turns out to be a piece of junk.

On the lighter side, we also had Gilmore Girls. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I don’t know if you have watched “Scandal” – all the hypocrites and adulterers are Republicans and “social conservatives,” and all the supposedly “cool” characters are liberals. And of course, it’s homosexual agenda down your throats…

What in Alexandra’s estimation is a “wholesome sexuality”? If it hurt’s someone it’s immoral if it doesn’t then who cares if people want to have anal sex, engage in S&M, cross dress, worship feet, have threesomes, etc. It’s no one’s business. I’m sure most people here agree with that. if not, then what is wholesome sexuality? Sex done only for pro-creation in the missionary position with the lights off?

I have to say this question lies at the heart of what is wrong with liberal ideology. It’s very important and the answer doesn’t fit in a short comment space. But here is a short reply.

We can look at sexuality in many ways. One is to examine what happens inside the mind of an individual. If their sexual thoughts or desires are the result of deformed and dysfunctional attitudes, emotions, and ideologies, than this is harmful to the individual alone, without even getting into the social and transactional sphere.

However, once we do move from the perimeter of the individual to the transactional, we find that sexuality is always inscribed in social relations of power, emotions, and psychological dynamics. There again, you have all kinds of detrimental attitudes and behaviors which affect not only the individual but also whoever they are interacting with. And that impacts society as a whole.

For example, imagine a society where only pedophiles exist – but these are pedophiles who do not act out towards children. You would say: where is the harm? The harm is that you have an entire society of adults who are incapable of a healthy sexual relationship with each other. That’s the harm right there. Sexuality is everybody’s business because it forms part of the fundamental cornerstone of society.

Continuing with our example, in the real world, matters are worse, and no such hypothetical could exist, because many of these pedophiles would actually act out their deformed minds about pedophilia and do harm not only to themselves, but to others.

That’s the society we have today: a violent sexual sewer, where people run around claiming to be wanting only consensual, non-harmful sex. There’s an abyss between the narrative and reality.

The majority of cases of sexual harassment, molestation, and abuse are perpetrated by people who also have consensual sexual behaviors. It’s the people who claim “they just want to love each other” (LGBTs) or who claim “I just want to have consensual sex” who do a lot of the harm and violence in the sphere of sexuality today. Once a person believes they should pursue any sexual kick that pops up in their minds – because they have labeled everything “normal” – it doesn’t matter to them if they are doing harm, because they no longer don’t care about how deformed and harmful their minds are. They believe any sexual attitude and behavior is legitimate and normal, and this takes precedence over anything, including the rights of others not to be harmed.

What you want is no accountability, no boundaries, and no guilt no matter how much harm and violence you do in the sphere of sexuality. And that is everybody’s business.

On a related note, for this reason also, I disagree with the Catholic Church, since it’s clear to me that having a perverted mind is a sin.

http://alessandrareflections.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/the-new-pope-the-catholic-church-and-homosexuality-a-fish-rots-from-the-head-down/

on dehumanizing sex:

http://alessandrareflections.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/what-was-the-sexual-revolution/

So “wholesome” encompasses all the underlying emotions and attitudes that underpin any sexual behavior, aside from the actual emotions tied to any sexual act. “Wholesome” refers to both what is happening internally within the individual, at a psychological level, as well as externally, as it impacts other individuals and society as a whole. In other words, you cannot separate “wholesome” from ethics. And you cannot ignore the ethical issues engendered by the type of relationship where the sexual interaction takes place or its consequences. Healthy has never been a synonym to just anything the gives pleasure. The more deformed the mind of a human being, the more they will get pleasure out of depravity and violence.

Thanks for failing to answer my question(what does it matter if two consenting adults want to get kinky?) and instead reverting back to your own personal bias and ignoring what I said. How do you even make the illogical leap from consensual kink to sexual harassment and rape? And then to use pedophilia as an example? Pedophilia does cause harm therefore it’s immoral but there’s no moral equivalency between it and two adults with spanking fetishes or who want to dress up and role play. Here’s the problem: you subscribe to an absolute sexual morality therefore anything outside of your rigid norms is going to be appear deviant and harmful and you wind up tossing harmless behavior in the same box with harmful behavior. The issue is all yours. And I wonder what would be your remedy for all this? Morality cops? You have a dangerous mind and are a true enemy to human freedom. If someone like you ever rose to a position where they could influence the culture not only would we be in a great deal of trouble but we would have no choice but to fight that person tooth and nail and expose them for the sick tyrant they actually are. You’re problem is worse than messaging; it’s that you’re dangerous. We’ve dealt with your type throughout history(Salem Witch Trials, The Inquisition, the Nazis)and continue to do so now(Jihadists, Westboro, Aryan Nation, etc.)and you always leave misery and death in your wake in a failed crusade for total conformity.

LOL! :-)))))

Joe, I did answer your question, and very well, in fact. If you were expecting me to state your idiotic ideology as a response, sorry to disappoint – I can answer your question, but I can’t spit out your stupid ideas in my answer. You’ll have to do that all by yourself.

Try reading again MY answer – which is very different than YOUR answer – as hard as it may be for your little brain to confront a new viewpoint – traumatic it seems. I also didn’t ignore anything you said, I simply exposed how wrong your thinking is. That’s not ignoring.

Until you can prove that anything I have remarked is “biased,” the bias rests solely with you.

Thanks to your question I have a new post on my blog, that will be a little more expanded than my answer here.

“Pedophilia does cause harm therefore it’s immoral but there’s no moral equivalency between it and two adults with spanking fetishes or who want to dress up and role play.”
