What's your message?

Miley Cyrus has lately stirred things globally following her twerking performance gone bad. Why the entire world has randomly erupted with shock and outrage at this isolated display is absurd. This is merely a drop in the ocean. The rate of collective moral degeneration and cultural rot is alarming to say the least. Women in particular have assented to objectification and general degradation . Why else would a 20 year old socialite with good cash flow and a previously good name agree to twerk on a stage of fully packed MTV awards' audience? Not for money and obviously not in search of fame. The 21st century has seen women shed clothes faster than the snake sheds its skin. Music videos, entertainment clubs and even the streets are now flooded with females scantily dressed. Whatever happened to the rest of the material; as my grandmother fondly asked when I once visited her dressed in a halter neck. Clearly she doesn't have cable TV, because then she would have known that I was in fact overdressed compared !!!

That the artist on stage with Miley ; Robin Thicke, was a fully grown,  36 year old husband and father infuriates me more. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have known most if not all men to be very protective of their daughters. The jokes on fathers' overprotective nature towards their daughters that do their rounds on social networks affirm this fact. There is always some truth behind every joke. 
Let me share the lyrics to the  hit song 'Blurred lines' that these two were dancing to:

OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you
But you’re an animal, baby, it’s in your nature
Just let me liberate you

I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
You’re a good girl
Can’t let it get past me
You’re far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted

What do we need steam for
You the hottest bitch in this place
I feel so lucky
Hey, hey, hey
You wanna hug me

Now call me old fashioned or whatever you want to brand me today but this is utter rubbish!!! 'You are the hottest bitch in this place' ? Seriously whoever listens to garbage like this!!! As if that's not enough, the person facing crucification is.......... drums roll----------> the female. The man in question ? Gets a pass; like boss!! I am disgusted, disappointed and utterly dismayed by this. 

We grumble every day about men objectifying women, yet with our actions in a quest to attract them we lead them to the same. And attract we do. Show any man some flesh and you have his undivided attention; but don't wait for the ring.  What you ask for is what you get. Don't ever confuse lust for love. Those two will never be related!! So today as you dress up to go out with the girls, take a second look in the mirror. What are you wearing? What image of you are you portraying? What message are you sending out? Don't go twerking all over town and later whimper that men don't take you seriously! It's like planting wheat and expecting a good harvest of maize. Respect yourself, this will in turn guide your morals. 

Lets all collectively strive to eradicate the moral decay eating at us!
