Yeah, if there is a comparison to be made, it's between
Miley and Trump. He fed into male stereotypes of male ego and popular chauvinistic attitudes and activities of the time to control those around him...
I don't approve of
female celebrities grabbing onto other fans in a sexual manner--consensual or not--because as it were, a man grabbing onto a fan in that manner--consensual or not--would go over very poorly. I just don't think it sets a good example... I understand female empowerment and all that crap, but it's not right to hold a man to an elevated standard of decency and yet a woman is not held to the same standard... that's not equality.
