We've come a long way.

I sent a friend the video to Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A.", and she wrote back that it bothers her when girls who like fifteen are sexed up, like they so often are in our culture.

So, I wrote back saying that New Moon star Taylor Lautner is like 17, but they always show him shirtless or in a wet t-shirt, so it's not just girls anymore, and she should be happy about that equality.

And, she agreed, and said (ironically) that it comforted her!
