One night, at a party in her honor, as paparazzi hovered, Ms. Cyrus dismissed shock at her budding sexuality as largely a media fabrication. To artists like Marilyn Minter, who is fond of pushing the envelope herself, Ms. Cyrus is also, in many ways, a victim of our society's puritanical, even hypocritical attitude toward sex and nudity. Ms. Minter said of Ms. Cyrus, "I think she's being slut shamed, and slut shaming is not cool." She said she understood that Ms. Cyrus might have been mining black culture, but so, she said, were many male performers and attendees that night who didn't get singled out, among them Macklemore, Justin Timberlake, and Ms. Cyrus's onstage partner, Mr. Thicke. As Ms. Rosenberg saw it, Ms. Cyrus's performance left a few things to be desired.
