Madonna on Feeling Opressed
In her interview, the 58-year-old talks about feeling oppressed. “I’ve always felt oppressed. I know a lot of people would go, ‘Oh, that’s ridiculous for you to say that. You’re a successful white, wealthy pop star,’ but I’ve had the shit kicked out of me for my entire career, and a large part of that is because I’m female and also because I refuse to live a conventional life.”
Madonna continues, “I’ve created a very unconventional family. I have lovers who are three decades younger than me. This makes people very uncomfortable. I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable.”

We all know she doesnt look like that so they didnt have to break photoshop in creating an image that is millions of light years away from reality. That cover just looks ridiculous! How is Madonna even signing off on the cover. There is nothing wrong with aging gracefully. These images lack the grace or elegance I would have thought Madonna would confidently be exhibiting in all her life experience. Such a shame.
True story. Shame indeed
