Conservatives are always up in arms about a women being comfortable with her image and her sexuality.

Exactly. When the conversation starts including Justin Timberlake, or any male for that matter, I'll start paying attention.
Until then, my time researching this screams to me that it is sexism first and foremost.

Why should an artist censor herself just because the parents of little girls decide to let them listen to it?
People act as if television and radio is forced upon them like air and water.
A person can chose not to subscribe, and they can definitely chose not to let their little children listen to pop music.
Clearly your comfortable with it...
It doesn't set a good example for the hundreds of little girls there who hear her beloved pop songs on the car ride home.. then wanna be a little "GaGa"
GET REAL.

On another note... Rhianna's "Rude Boy" at Nickelodeons Kid Choice Awards was an excellent song to be performed in front of a crowd that contained 7 and 8 year olds.
Why is the youth aloud to be subjected to that?

I'm quite comfortable with it. If the parents of this country are so non-existant that what a pop-star wears to a baseball game(let's see, an entertainer, at an entertainment event) influences them that heavily, that is the fault of the parents, not the singer.
Furthermore, children have wanted to be the 'it' thing for generations. Again, it comes down to parents.
Set an example? If this is the example that you let your children aspire to, again, that is your fault as a parent.
Get real? Real is understanding that everyone has the right to do as they wish. Real is understanding that it is not up to a pop-star whose soul purpose is to get exposure and sell records to set the example for YOUR child. Real is understanding that being a parent is sometimes about steering your kids away from these things.
Real is certainly not sitting around bellowing your sexism and expecting OTHERS to do what you should as a parent.
Another question: Do you get upset when a male athlete takes off his shirt? Does it bother you that nba dancers wear less than gaga did and hump the floor 4 times a night? Do you consider it disrespectful that the Arizona Diamondbacks have a hot tub in centerfield and EVER SINGLE GAME features people in their bikinis or swimwear?

Of course the parents don't realize it.. there not on ATS, or do They?
Is everyone missing the simple point of this thread?

Well, flashers are "comfortable" with their sexuality, but still doesn't make it ok.
There's a big difference between exposing yourself and being comfortable with your sexuality.
Do you get upset when you see a female wearing a bikini?

LOL well Madonna was just as weird 20 years ago too. Both these women have issues and its sad they wanna work their "issues" out in public and even sadder that they would have the lack of self respect to make money on their "issues".
