It's hard to believe that it was less than two years ago when Miley Cyrus remained off limits, a prematurely ripe piece of forbidden fruit paraded in front of mankind's collective eyeballs like a cruel inside joke between God and whoever invented age of consent laws.
But it's cool, guys. Miley's like 19 now and has a nose ring and goes to events wearing a jacket from the Designing Women wardrobe closet with no shirt or pants. And she wants you to stare. Really, she does:
"If people find that [I'm sexy], I take it as a compliment," she says on Lifetime's The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet. "Thank you for thinking I'm sexy!"
See, in Miley's mind acting out and dressing in an inappropriately mature fashion are not just a way to piss off her overbearing stage parents (yeah, we're reading between the lines on that one, but c'mon), but also a feminist statement:
"People are so scared of seeing a woman being like, ‘This is who I am and you’re not going to change itfor a woman to say that she can't be tamed, and of all people in the world, my face saying I can't be tamed, when that's all people really wanted to do- I think that proves how sexist people still really are."
We're definitely seeing an Alyssa Milano moment in Miley's future.
