Miley Cyrus says she doesn’t want to have children because “the earth can’t handle it.” The former Disney child-star, pop-culture icon and singer, turned Planned Parenthood activist, Miley says she will not reproduce – due to global warming-related anxiety.
She said she will, however, conceive when she is confident her offspring can “live on an earth with fish in the water.” Mother Nature is female — and; “When she’s angry, don’t f*** with her,” the singer said in a new interview with ELLE Magazine. Cyrus is on the cover this month promoting her new album, “She Is Coming,” and she’s opening up about her sexuality, her “Hannah Montana” days, “Old Town Road,” and why she doesn’t want kids.
“We’ve been doing the same thing to the earth that we do to women,” she said, making another comparison to feminism.
“We just take and take and expect it to keep producing. And it’s exhausted. It can’t produce. We’re getting handed a piece-of-shit planet, and I refuse to hand that down to my child,” the Grammy-winner continued. “Until I feel like my kid would live on an earth with fish in the water, I’m not bringing in another person to deal with that. ”
Millennials as a whole, Cyrus claimed, feel the same way. “We don’t want to reproduce because we know that the earth can’t handle it,” she said. The conversation also dipped into the pop star’s view on sexuality, feminism, and her “unique” marriage with her husband, actor Liam Hemsworth.
“I like the way being sexual makes me feel, but I’m never performing for men,” she explained. “They shouldn’t compliment themselves to think that the decisions I’m making in my career would have anything to do with them getting pleasure.” Cyrus continued:
I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married. But my relationship is unique. And I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it. I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a fucking apron cooking dinner? I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women. People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still fucking good, and I know that. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.
This is not the first time Miley Cyrus has voiced her opinion on cultural and political topics.
On being a powerful woman
Cyrus said at this point in her life, she feels more powerful than ever. She recently married her longtime love, actor Liam Hemsworth, in an intimate ceremony. “I think it’s very confusing to people that I’m married. But my relationship is unique. And I don’t know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it’s so complex, and modern, and new that I don’t think we’re in a place where people would get it,” Cyrus told ELLE.
“I mean, do people really think that I’m at home in a f***ing apron cooking dinner?” she questioned. Cyrus is not exactly known to be demure — or a rule-follower. After leaving Disney she totally transformed her image and took on something of a bad-girl persona, becoming unafraid of expressing her sexuality.
