are the people who are trying to break you in the room with us right now, ms. ciccone?’

OK Boomer.

You look like hell. That’s not why you should be dragged, but our youth-ob­sessed cul­ture ob­vi­ous­ly dri­ves the com­pul­sion to turn your­self into a liv­ing Madame Tussaud’s installment. 

It’s un­for­tu­nate and sad. But here you are say­ing you won’t be broken. 

But you’ve fucked with your face so much, I’m not sure you’re so firm in that conviction.
 

Madon­na is the de fac­to Queen of Pop and she’s worth al­most a cool bil­lion. She has more pow­er and con­trol than any­one can imagine.

And while I can re­spect the con­tri­bu­tions Madge has made to the mu­sic in­dus­try and the bound­aries she’s pushed, I can also think her ex­treme plas­tic surgery looks ter­ri­ble and that she’s be­ing tone deaf about her ob­scene wealth and privilege. 

These things aren’t mu­tu­al­ly exclusive.

She set the stan­dard dur­ing the 80s by which every oth­er fe­male pop artist was mea­sured – for more than a good twen­ty years.

But that’s not be­ing a rebel. That’s be­ing main­stream.

And while she start­ed out very much a rebel, she has not been for a very, very, very long time.

Women don’t have to uni­ver­sal­ly sup­port every oth­er woman in every­thing they do. Women are ca­pa­ble of do­ing dumb shit and we do dumb shit be­cause we’re human.

There’s a dif­fer­ence be­tween ar­bi­trar­i­ly shit­ting on some­one just be­cause you’re a misog­y­nist and call­ing out dumb shit. 

This is the latter.
