Miley Cyrus has a friend in Wendy Shalit:

Despite all the self-serving banter about her “taking the wheel” by disrobing, the truth is that a confident, modest Miley would be far more rebellious than a Miley who takes the usual route of pornification. The Britney Spears path out of Disney has, after all, been well-worn. The road less traveled nowadays is for a child star to grow up without stripping down. The problem is thus not really with Miley but with the rest of us – specifically, with our false notions of female empowerment.
It will certainly be interesting to see how this battle for Miley’s soul plays out. Will she be able to resist the script we adults are handing her? Does she even want to?
In the meantime, she ought to keep in mind that Audrey Hepburn never needed “hooker boots” or a pole to prove her maturity. And no amount of cleavage can ever reveal a clearer view of Miley than do her work, her leadership and her beautiful personality.
