It seems a day dedicated universally to celebrating the achievements of women wasn’t enough to put Miley Cyrus in a happy mood this week.
The Disney darling turned pop singer was irked by an online scrap that had broken out between fellow celebrities Bette Midler, Chloe Mortez and renowned music killer Kim Kardashian over the latter’s nude selfie on Instagram.
Cyrus proceeded to post a now infamous KIMOJI, captioned with the following message:
“Dear women, you ALL are acting tacky AF! Why don’t we overly (myself included) fortunate women come together and try to create and bring jobs to other women in desperate need of them so they can support not only THEMSELVES but their families! #happyinternationalwomensday can we all put the cuntiness aside for one fucking day and love / celebrate one another! PS no matter how hard you (or myself) work NEVER will I feel I am worthy of the comfort I live in…. Because so many others while I tuck myself in at night are laying their head on the pavement, dreaming of all the things we take for granted every day. Much love to all my women!!!!”
Despite the heated language of the post, it appears that Miley is hitting the right issues on an important day for women across the world. In her unique position of celebrity power, its important to utilise these moments, when young women look up to her for both inspiration and influence.
It’s not the first time Miley has ruffled some feathers over issues related to feminism and sexuality. Last year, we celebrated what Miley Cyrus taught us about feminism – check it out here.
