“But I appreciate your confidence in my super powers.”
In your previous post, you alluded to that. :)
By the way, are you aware that Sinead O’Connor (who’s has proven to be a strong, principled person) has in fact sent several letters to Cyrus stating that she would “expect” more of her. So far the “demand of higher expectations” therapy hasn’t worked.

Regarding your diagnosis of the problem - i.e. that young girls acting like slus and boys calling them on it is due to “the bigotry of low expectation” totally lost me.
Can you elaborate - it sounds like psycho babble.

The term was originally coined by Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson in regards to affirmative action.
If you like Christ, He alluded to the same concept in James 4:2-3, “you have not not because you ask not”. Mind you, it’s way more complex than that, so don’t go wandering off into prosperity theology.
But interpersonal expectations can generate behavior. Men can treat women with respect irrespective of dress or uncouth behavior and ask them to wear more around them and often get positive results. Women can behave and dress more respectfully around uncouth men and expect and demand more chivalrous behavior. It’s not 100%, but it is surprisingly effective at the basic interpersonal level.
People will often be their better selves when you are also being your better self. There are many sayings for the concept. The golden rule comes to mind, or that real character is how you treat others when they can do nothing for you.
So your comment that girls in slutwear deserve no respect is a form of bigotry based on your dislike and lack of respect for them. But perhaps if men treated them with respect and forbearance regarding their dress, perhaps they might begin to respect themselves and dress better.
Sadly, most men prefer women to act and dress like sluts so they can have irresponsible uncommitted sex with them, and women have no trouble meeting those low expectations.
It doesn’t really matter which side changes first, in the great dance, if one leads, the other will follow.
