"FacebookPinterest\n\nIt's that time again, when Fox News makes their monthly pilgrimage to the ol' television machine to horrify themselves with the realization that it's not 1952. Joining in the chorus of woe over Miley Cyrus's VMA grind-fest, President and CEO of Concerned Women for America Penny Young Nance wrote an editorial for FoxNews.com yesterday, in which she laid the blame for Cyrus' sins squarely on MTV, capitalism, and the 19th Amendment. Yup, the world is going to hell in a hand basket because women were given the right to vote.\n\n Nance couches her argument in a lot of \"Won't somebody please think of the children?!\" hand wringing, throwing out lines like:\n\n If we continue to tell our young women that they are nothing more than walking private parts, we can be assured they will leave \"Hannah Montana\" behind in pursuit of the Lindsay Lohan lifestyle we saw last night.\n\n Sure, it's safe to assume that people don't want their daughters grinding away their dignity in front of millions of viewers\u2014but the problem here is not that Nance is troubled by Cyrus, it's that she equates Cyrus' particular brand of promiscuity with feminism and women's lib\u2014and not only that, she outright declares it as the end result.\n\n On Sunday night, Miley Cyrus emplified what the end of the road looks like for the \"women's liberation\" movement. With tongue out, twerking with teddy bears, mouthing \"we can kiss who we want, we can screw who we want,\" Miley sang, \"We Can't Stop\" to gaping mouths in the audience and a firestorm of reaction nationwide.\n\n Of course, simulated masturbation on stage is clearly the end result of women's lib, rather than, say, an entertainment conglomerate enabling a teenager's every whim and then wondering why she turns into a 20-year-old weirdo. You probably thought that women's rights were responsible for female Secretary of States and Supreme Court justices, but as Fox News clearly proves, that's crazy talk.\n\n Nance also chastises MTV for poisoning the minds of our youth. \"This should be the last straw for a station that continues to sabotage the future and innocence of our children,\" she writes, because she is in fact a time traveler just arrived from 1984. While you're at it, start a letter-writing campaign to get Married With Children ad, too.\n\n She then closes her editorial with a plea to end this degradation of the fairer sex:\n\n Less than a hundred years after our nation guaranteed women the right to vote, after decades of societal development for women, we cry out for this degradation of our self-respect to end.\n\n...except that she just spent 400 words explaining that the decades of progress for women was the cause of said degradation. So which is it? Does women's lib create Supreme Court justices, or does it create troubled women who fetishize the nakeder trades? You can't have it both ways. How about this: Maybe stop counting on Disney idols to serve as role models for your children? And please, Fox News, stop blaming women's hard-fought rights for all of society's ills, especially the ones you seem to think signal the end of men."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
