Rashida Jones bristles at the suggestion that she’s a prude.
“I love sex,” the 37-year-old actress and writer declared recently in Glamour magazine. “Hell, I’ve even posed in my underwear.” But Jones also bristles at an instinct so common among young female pop stars to showcase their private parts, à la Miley Cyrus gyrating on stage in latex scanties. Last October, Jones created a mini-furor when she tweeted, “This week’s celeb news takeaway: she who comes closest to showing the actual inside of her vagina is most popular #stopactinglikewhores.”
That seemingly innocuous dig at Cyrus, Rihanna, and other hypersexualized stars provoked a predictable firestorm on Twitter—accused most commonly of “slut-shaming” —which forced Jones into the pages of Glamour to mount a (more than 140 character) defense. The Parks and Recreation star declared an openness to sex but wariness of the “pornification of everything” and the “homogenous” and sexualized image that young women in the music industry are promoting.
“Every star interprets ‘sexy’ the same way: lots of skin, lots of licking of teeth, lots of bending over. I find this oddly… boring,” Jones wrote. “I understand that owning and expressing our sexuality is a huge step forward for women. But, in my opinion, we are at a point of oversaturation.”
It’s a topic Jones will expand upon during a panel at the Women in the World Summit on April 5, alongside Colorado psychologist Tomi-Ann Roberts and 16-year-old Winnifred BonJean-Alpart, who was featured in “Sexy Baby,” a documentary about how the digital age is changing our culture’s sexual landscape.
Jones, daughter of music mogul Quincy Jones, makes a decidedly feminist argument about today’s sex-obsessed starlets. “I’m just asking people to take a breath and talk about it,” she told The Guardian in February.

It’s only “boring” to those who are jaded on pornography, which is not a good way to be.
Her brother suddenly appears and towers over Tom and says, "Is that true?"
"Well, no one said whore. She inferred hooker ... but I meant slut."
By “boring” we’re not necessarily referring to the lyrics, but more the music...it all sounds the same.
I really don’t think it is necessary to be jaded by excessive exposure to porn to find it boring.
Really boring.
The worst is a song starts out with some potential, then there’s a frickin’ rap in the middle.....UGGGH!
The sad part is that it’s not all pop stars. Look at photos of Adele, Lorde, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. There aren’t many crotch shots, barely there body suits in this group. What do they have that Miley doesn’t?
I guess we’re just different. I find it repulsive and hellish.
Adele has sold a ton more records than Smiley Virus.
That was the push of radical feminism. In order to be 'equal' to men, women had to be as 'sexual' as men. They forgot that women are much more vulnerable, when it come to sex, than men are. They don't like it, and they try to argue it isn't so, but you can't argue with biology.
So young women are encouraged by radical feminism, through groups like Planned Parenthood, and the National Abortion Rights Action League, to 'be sexual', and the way they are encouraged to do so is to be sexually active, with as many partners as they prefer. With pop stars, it means to get up on stage and sing about sex, and dance and dress provocatively, This started with Madonna, and has gone downhill ever since.
The culture of the US is a vast wasteland.
Voices?
Owning??
The real point is that these women are selling sex. Nothing new there. And not a step forward. I guess these dames are too dumb to see that. Typical broads.
“I replied to this comment:
“You’re correct, but don’t you think those boys in their prime were banging every chick in the fan queue?”
Song lyrics have been dirty since before I was born.”
Yep.
Try listening to some old Z Z Top.

It isn’t a big step forward. Oversaturation happened a long time ago, and even that word is whitewashing it.
Turning girls into sluts practically before they can have babies is destroying the culture, along with turning boys into immoral barbarians.
