Miley Cyrus is just about the biggest disgrace to women out there on SO many levels, just no.
I actually would say P!nk, she's never done anything I'd consider unfeminist. She does not **** shame. She's said things about people taking their clothes off, yes, but think about who she criticized for that and why. There is are right times and places and ways to take your clothes off, and criticizing someone for doing so in a trashy, cheap, meaningless way is not **** shaming, it's a critique. Feminism is not about supporting any woman who takes her clothes off in any possible way, it's about supporting those who do so in an empowering positive way while denouncing those who do so in a way that promotes the objectification of women and is trashy.

Who exactly are you to say that this married woman is a discredit to her gender for choosing to publicly celebrate her married name? Women aren't monolithic -- some may want to keep their last name, some may want to accept the last name of their husband and neither is wrong.
I'm a woman and if/when I get married and if *I* decide to accept my husbands last name, whoever dislikes it can kiss the entirety of my ass. That is MY choice and no one else's. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the next woman's choices.

As I stated before, it's not about her taking or not taking her husband's name. It's the act of ANY supposed feminist pop star using that name as a tour name. I love P!nk to death, but I would take issue with her as a potential feminist icon if she called a tour the Mrs. Hart tour. It just sits wrong with me as a feminist.
Mainly because her music and tours have nothing to do with him. It's be different if it was a tour for an album featuring a ton of songs that Jay-Z had been featured on. Your tour name should be relevant to your music, it's not that different than someone having an "I really like pizza" tour, it's like so what? What does that have to do with the content of the performances of said tour.
