Miley Cyrus bore the brunt of public outcry after a salacious VMA performance . Her singing partner during the show , Robin Thicke , has n't faced as much scrutiny . As a dad and husband in this story , it seems to me he should be held as accountable -- if not more -- for this ridiculous national spectacle and its aftermath as a 20-year-old girl . Fatherhood writer Jim Higley says that as a man , Thicke dropped the ball . Score: 6
