disconiche:

Older women come out in support of MADONNA.

The Sun newspaper today dedicated a two page article to women aged 53 baring themselves and being proud to do it. These amazingly brave women have come out in support of the world’s most famous woman who has, in recent days, been under fire for baring her breast at a concert in Istanbul.

I commend The Sun for featuring this article and spreading the message further that age is NOTHING to be ashamed of and Madonna has as much right to express herself as any women at any age. If this can raise awareness about ageism and also give women the courage to see that they are beautiful at any age then it’s a positive thing.

This is how we break barriers and change society for the better.

FUCK YES

for those that weren’t aware, in recent years madonna has made a lot of (relevant) comments about ageism and how women are instantly criticised for being sexual if they aren’t young, but men are allowed to be as creepy as possible. everyone in the world has made quips about she’s “too old” and should “retire” despite the fact her last album went number one in something ridiculous like 50 countries without promotion. on stage about a week ago she exposed her breast in a really non-chalant way, which obviously got the attention of every social media site ever.

it’s really great to see stuff like this happening because they GOT what madonna meant and it’s amazing how much she can start discussion about sexuality and expression at this stage in her career.
