Creating an NFT of her 65 yo vagina and then claiming that she's "giving birth to art" demonstrates that she's still desperate to shock. Using "ageism" and "misogyny" to explain the blow back against her terrible plastic surgery shows how truly desperate she's become.

She also wound up looking scary and nothing like her former self. Madonna was always shallow and cheap, Cher, too, although, I used to like Cher in the beginning. Then, she went all trampy. I never liked Madonna. It's ironic that her name means "My Lady."

Aging is b/s! I lost the will to age, get old and die. My mind and body are following with that mind set to go backwards. You people and I say you People, that you will believe that people who lose the will to live will die in days, but Goddess for bid if the door swings the other way you won't believe it. Say in your dumb 3D world and Matrix be brain washed. I would rather die young then age and get old from something evil sick disorder such as dementia. I pray to God that they come up with anti-aging very soon so you or no one will have to ever experience that. I hope you will wake from that dumb ass 3D world and see the truth. You are deceived by the Chruch, religion and the global elite to age, get old and die! It is system in place to keep you trapped for ever to recycle your soul back into the system. Good Luck.

Perfect point. The problem with Madonna, unlike the rest of those women, is that she built her fame on looks and sex appeal. She was a good performer, but looks and sex appeal fade with age, and she didn't develop (for the lack of a better word) a certain "je ne sais quoi". Instead, she tried to hold on to the easy mantra of "sex sells".
Remember when Michael Jackson had all this terrible plastic surgery, and literally every rag in the world publicized photos of it, tearing him down and making fun of it? Madonna isn't even gettng a FRACTION of that abuse, and now it's misogyny and discrimination? Gimme a break.

I would accept her natural aging.
I live in a small town and in my twentys I was a malestriper and definitely pushed a few buttons. I have always kept a good appearance. I take care of myself and at 62 look younger than I am. But, people criticize me for not letting my hair go grey say my face is to smooth and put me down. I pay no attention to them and just Liv my best life. This criticizeisum is not just for women.
It’s not misogyny She’s just craving attention and delusional
When even the gays think you have gone overboard you better listen….she looks insane
She’s deflecting the issue , crazy
I’ve all the performers in the world I thought she would be one of the rare few that age, naturally, and gracefully. It breaks my heart that women our age group still rely on their looks.
When abc puts "claps back" you know theyve gone downhill
It’s not ageism or sexism. It’s because she radically changed her looks through plastic surgery to the point that she’s unrecognizable. For a celebrity spouting about self-acceptance, this is not a good message, and maybe not what she intended. By the way, I’ve followed Madonna since the 80s, and she has been a cultural influence, and I respect her, for the most part. I think a lot of her thing is shock value, and maybe this is what she’s doing.
One definition of ageism: When a woman has enough plastic surgery to turn her face into a disaster in an effort to not look her actual age.

She can’t take getting old lol take some accountability for once love

You are talking nonsense. Nobody criticises Madonna because of her age but because she wants to look like she's 25. That is, btw pure ageism and her clear message to all women - "you must look like 25 even if you're 60". So, stop defending her. It's hypocrisy.
You know what's ageism? When you show the world wrinkles are something that needs to be medically removed in order to look attractive.

I'm glad to see her speaking up for herself. I hope she feels good about the changes she has made with plastic surgery. It's sad that women in the media feel like they have to have "work done" to stay relevant.
Grew up watching Madonna. If she wants to do that to her face that's her prerogative but it doesn't look good. She's morphing into Pete Burns. I wish more women would be more like Jamie Lee Curtis, aging gracefully.

Great segment! I really enjoyed it!
She looked so beautiful and now I don’t know what happened to her she looks so different
That's rich coming from a woman who has done everything she can to convince the world (and perhaps) herself that she has not aged.
It's all part of the show. She doesn't look pretty, but she doesn't care. She is 64, and as far as people pay for her show, she will keep on doing it.
Face it: As women age, we ARE criticized, and expected to perpetually look young. The same expectation does not exist for men, who are, in large point, guilty of perpetuating this expectation, along with “Madison Avenue.” All I can say to Madonna is “I Love You Just The Way You Are.” 🎶❤️🎶
Omg, Madonna!! I would have never recognized her... Maybe some special effects makeup person was involved maybe? I'm serious and not kidding.
She is the coolest Pop star ever. She should make peace, with aging.
Looks like Madonna (and lots of other women) can't accept her (their) body for aging. That's ageist 🤦♀
Give me a break. A younger Madonna routinely ridiculed older female entertainers for their appearance. Now that she's older and looks like garbage, she suddenly becomes sensitive to criticism. What hypocrisy.
Older people do look strikingly different from their younger selves. Normal part of aging. We have to stop buying into the idolatry of youth
Madonna labeled the backlash wrong. Judging by the comments on her looks, its more about people being against plastic surgery and her not choosing to let herself naturally age. Which now she's suffering the consequences for misblaming it. Despite incorrectly blaming it, at the end of the day its her body. People all have their interpretations of what is beautiful and there will ALWAYS be a group of people that aren't pleased regardless. I hope she is personally happy with her look and not letting societal pressure make that judgement.
I never understood the fascination with Madonna. I went back and looked at her early stuff thinking maybe that would impress me but even her best stuff isn't entertaining. It seems ppl in the 80's must've been terribly bored to the point where they'd find anything "shocking."

Yeah no, this is the opposite of ageism. While she alters her face to look young instead of accepting her age gracefully, she's being ageist herself by being so opposed to looking older that she ruins her natural beauty with synthetic injections. All in all though, this is done because she fears death, and no matter your actions, it will take us all.

Most people who get plastic surgery do not look worse after than before.
“To age is a sin.” To think Madonna is the spokesperson for aging. Really??!! Lord. Sure her plastic surgeon is sitting pretty.
Sometimes people have to look beyond the what and ask why: Societal expectations for women to remain young looking at all costs. I made a further comment below, but if men were as accepting of woman aging as women are of men, it would be a whole different world. Love yourself, and lose that haters.
Madonna is provocative but she needs to take care of herself first, I do love her so much. She needs to get an excellent entourage it is possible. Ageism is not a problem she will be just fine but Madonna is Madonna. Get the right thing that’s all. I do respect her for the real iconic and legend she is. She is my pattern since the 80 s .
Madonna brought it all on herself. She looked perfectly fine and human, til this last horrific face-lift.
I remember when she shaded Joan Collin in Arsenio’s show saying “Have you seen her lately.” Now look at her 🥴
She's terrified of getting old.
Why is everyone also afraid to say that Madonna also got very FAT
Madonna starts to look like John Wayne Gacy. Send the feds to look what is buried in the crawl space
I love you Madonna! You saved my life and I really mean that. Your songs and your beauty spoke to me. The performer in you helped me to be free. I will always love and defend you when it is right to do so. Please hear me when I say this this isn't ageism or misogyny -- you looked horrible!!!! Why cant you hear that? I think what this is YOUR EGO. Stop punishing us for speaking the truth and whomever gave you this look -- fire them.
This has little to do with misogyny in my opinion although I agree that women do have to deal with ageism far more then men. So why do I say in Madonna's case this has little to do with misogyny? For two reasons: 1. This has everything to do with totally botched plastic surgery which can (and does) happen with younger people too. And reason #2: Cumulatively, over the years, I've heard more comments about Mickey Rourke's wrecked face due to botched plastic surgery than any one woman (even more times than I heard comments about Jocelyn Wildenstein, the "cat lady"). So Madonna and the editors at Vogue can scream misogyny all they want - but this is about totally botched plastic surgery, not about someone's age.
She seems like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard this has nothing to do with age it's trying to hold on to 25
A long lens camera yeah that must be it.
To all the people saying that it is not ageism or misoginy, let me tell you, what a narrow-view you have... It is indeed misoginy and ageism because when a woman "ages gracefully" she is also criticized, I've read and heard thousands of nasty comments about older women's looks. A WOMAN CAN'T WIN! That is the thing, if you get surgery you are criticized and if you don't you're criticized as well, Madonna knows this very well, and that's why she does what she wants regardless of what people may say. She's broken so many rules, and she's gonna do that until she's gone. Plus, I still see her main facial features, people are ridiculous, she's always looked radically different even from one year to another, and the most ridiculous thing is when I see people who pretend to compare her face to how she looked at 40, She's almost 65! Those people are lacking a little bit of this 🧠.

Is it ageism from others or is it her wrestling with her age publicly? Is it others not accepting her at 64 or her inability to accept that she is not and will not be as popular as she was in her younger days?
How is it misogyny when you hate only one woman, Madonna?
