I think you are twisting the term to heights never before thought of. If that's enjoyment I'm sad for her. And which is it? A calculated attempt to provoke or real, spontaneous enjoyment?
The term has to do with categorizing sexuality and sexual enjoyment as slutty behavior, not watching a Floor show and describing it as slutty. The way you are defining the term, interpreting a street walker's behavior and dress as slutty is *advertiser censored* shaming. I guess I just define it differently.
Actually no, it's pretty bog standard to characterize the type of criticism Miley is getting as "*advertiser censored* shaming". It refers not just to actual sexual activities and habits, but perceptions of such, as well as characterizing dress/appearance/etc as slutty or any of its related adjectives. Here's one item I found from a quick Google, from back in 2010, describing *advertiser censored* shaming, and it includes exactly this type of behavior:

Not to mention the misogynism inherent in body shaming ("she doesn't even have curves!", "she's shaped like a boy!", "she's not even pretty!").
But I suppose I'm not surprised by the extension of the term. Little girls have been taught to shake it on stage and flirt while wearing heavy make up for years now at beauty pageants and even cheer and dance competitions. I guess if we driticze that, we are *advertiser censored* shaming too.
That's a false equivalence. Little girls are little girls, who haven't even gone through puberty, and can't consent to what is being done to them in those venues. There is absolutely no comparison between a 20 year old woman freely deciding how she presents herself, and say, a 10 year old dressed in a sexualized costume.
Perhaps I am old. What I think of as the costuming, facial expressions and dance moves of women who sell their sex for money is now the norm and if we categorize it as the costuming, facial expressions and dance Moves of women who sell their sex for money, we are shaming others for enjoying sex.
Do you not see how your equation of "selling sex for money" as being something "wrong" with women, is demeaning to sex workers who choose to be such, and worse, to women who don't choose that profession freely but instead are exploited into such a position?
You see it as sexual enjoyment. I see it is the panicked attempt to stay relevant of a highly exploited, former child star. You see it as fun. I see it as desperately sad and anti-woman.
Ok, these are valid criticisms, and totally worth having a discussion about. I agree the performance was problematic for a few reasons. But that isn't the discussion that's going on here, or elsewhere. The focus has continually been on shaming Miley as "trashy", "slutty", "gross", "ugly", "unattractive", "vulgar". Not about say, her exploited childhood, or about how it possibly is damaging to women. Nor does anyone make mention of Robin Thicke's participation in that.
But I guess I'm just a secret prude angry at Miley for publicly expressing her "fun" side.
Dunno about that. I don't think so, based on your posting history, which I have always admired, fwiw.
