Madonna has always danced and dressed to shock. She has always pushed boundaries. Then she got old. Some men can’t handle Madonna continuing to Madonna whilst getting older. So they use words like “slutty” - to describe a fully clothed woman wearing a Dolce and Gabbana corset and tights. What these men reveal is that they think a woman should make herself invisible as she ages. Because for these men - a woman being sexually attractive to THEM is what gives HER validity. They will probably happily consume porn where the women are selected to appear to be underage and see nothing wrong with that because “she chooses to do it” and they can ignore the sexual exploitation of the women they participate in. They perceive “ownership” of these women the moment they click on their screens and these women must behave according to the rules men hold in their minds about women being hairless, wrinkle-free, submissive and sexually complaint. These men do not measure themselves on the same scale or to the same standards as the women they judge. They can be obese, balding and in their fifties, masturbating to horrendous porn scenarios involving young girls gang raped - but a woman who has “crossed over” into a middle-age wilderness where they no longer wish to use her for their sexual fantasies should disappear from their view. These men are afraid of older women. They hate them. They particularly hate the ones who insist on being seen. Because women getting older are a challenge to the porn set woman who the men feel they can scroll through, use and discard until the next time. By contrast a woman with wrinkles and aching joints is real - she might say no. She might say “fuck off and tidy yourself up you flatulent potato”. These men believe that in real life they shouldn’t have to encounter an “ugly” female body with sagging skin and cellulite. They themselves may be balding, their arses are sagging and their bellies hang to their knees but they still believe they operate in an attractiveness economy where their dollars double in comparison to a woman of the same age. They can trade for a woman ten years younger. So when a Madonna steps forward and carries on doing what she has always done it’s a bit annoying. She isn’t turning them on sexually so how dare she act in a sexual way?! They didn’t summon her and they can’t control her. The fragility of these men is laughable. Madonna is clearly not fragile - she will perform as long as she can. She loves music and fashion. She’s doing what she thinks she can to maintain her brand. She has always been creative. I enjoyed watching her slightly unravel each day during Covid. She doesn’t know how NOT to be a performer. I hope Madonna keeps running a little wild and unravelling into later life with abandon. It’s gloriously generous of her to get on stage and show us. She’s like a later life Mustang that men like these can’t throw a rope round. Good for her that she is.
