Madonna cemented her legacy for me in 1983, when I was 13. Forever a Goddess. 💜

It's jealousy and envy. And men are mad they could never have her and she will never want them. Too bad. So sad.

She's going to rock on and you can choose to fade away.

Many men (straight ones, too) are mad they can't BE her. To command all that attention is supposed to be male privilege.

And I hope she ceases ONE DAY the over-sexualizing and focuses more on the music. Not because I think she (or Iggy Pop) should give a f... but because it must be exhausting. I always liked them for the power their music and voices had on my imagination SANS video. But that's MY generation. We were better listeners. Sigh. And there were better musicians before Video Killed the Radio Star.

I agree, good point about ageism.

Good luck with your music!

I always found it fascinating that Camille Paglia and other feminists like Sophie Gilbert love Madonna.

She is the living embodiment of modern feminism. Loved by women and gay men, straight men not so much.

I like her more as she gets older.

Frozen is a great song, so is like a prayer.

This straight guy LOVES her. I played "Bedtime Stories" until the needle fell off!

I’m a far-right closet Madonna fan. Tell no one.

i agree for the most part - but by trying to "keep" up, she's following whereas she used to lead. she was a trendsetter...but, overall, i do agree with you.

With your gender critical songs, William, I think your music is far more original, edgy, relevant, and provocative than any of the music Madonna has ever made. Wishing you every success.

Don’t defend Madonna, attack the attackers.

I should go the same way?

Up to you. There are less messy options...
