The Logic Behind Twerking

"I think it's quite inappropriate. Especially for the age groups it's aimed at."

I never thought a boy band member would ever say this, but it has made me respect Harry Styles much more. (cue applause)

Miley Cyrus, coming from a children's show on Disney, does not see the consequences she has ignited by promoting twerking. The fan base Cyrus  has consists of mainly teenage girls, who grew up with her as she filmed the Hannah Montana series. While Miley Cyrus may see her twerking as way of "owning her sexuality," the truth is that her message can easily be distorted and be interpreted by these girls quite differently. Twerking isn't teaching them to own their body, the way Cyrus sees it, it's teaching them to be provocative and sexual--not appropriate for young girls.
