So I went out to lunch today and they sat me across from a TV airing Fox News, and although I couldn’t hear what the anchors were saying the text read this:
“Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj top polls by parents as worst female celebrity role models.”
Um…okay…let’s talk about that.
Miley Cyrus is a young woman who is completely comfortable in her body. She has self-confidence and self-worth oozing out of her every fiber after having serious body issues during her childhood. She is comfortable with her sexuality, she is comfortable with her body, and she is projecting that comfort to such a degree its amazing. I didn’t really have anyone when I was very young that I looked at and thought, “man, if she’s confident why can’t I be?”
And you don’t want to teach your kids these values because she happens to twerk and emits heavy sexuality?
And then there’s Nicki Minaj, who also should not be on that list. If you don’t believe me, look at this post.
If you don’t want to look at that post, look at this:
But let’s not listen to her, she’s a bad role model (#sarcasm).
That is not all. After discussing this I saw this piece of text come up:
“Should every celebrity really be expected to be a role model?”
Most celebrities don’t even want to be celebrities, they want to be people doing what they love and they want to be treated the same as everyone else.
To have different expectations for people in the spotlight because we put them there is absolutely ridiculous.
And this poll, asking “who is the worst celebrity role model” is nothing but disrespectful, judgmental and mean.
Who are you to judge a person you’ve never met?
People are people are people and we are all born equal.
