It's not a question of who 15 yo boys are looking at, clearly they look at girls their own age. It's a question of the kinds of images that are put out there of young girls. This didn't just start with Miley, but the blase attitudes displayed here and elsewhere about these particular photos are proof that these types of images are "normalized". It's not ok to sexualize underage girls. What's next? Should they be able to do straight up porn? Maybe we should strip laws against engaging in sex with underage girls from the statutes?
Grown women doing cheesecake or even porn, which I have nothing against btw, is perfectly ok as they are old enough to make their own decisions. But don't think VF had no idea of the implications of these particlular images.
