"be what women feel comfortable with you being, around other men" this right here is MASSIVE. we forget as a society that its not only men judging us or labeling us but most importantly its our own kind, women, at times being even more judgmental than the men towards a sexually liberated and daring woman. I personally know many girls like this and they are easily threatened by any remotely attractive woman in their vicinity and it boils their blood to see a girl like that who is confident and unapologetic.

I've seen this speech about a dozen times and every time it brings me to tears. You're right.. the light /soul /energy.. that we know as "Madonna" can move mountains and commands a room.. nay a Stadium at her whem.. She's my absolute favorite artist on earth and I feel sooo blessed to have been able to witness her meteoric and unprecedented stay here on earth. It's beyond the music. It's her soul that captivates me. I love her forever and a day ♥ ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️

This woman saved my life. I was suicidal when I came out, because my family had such a hard time with it. But Madonna came on tv -I already loved her music - and said in an interview, "Gay people are my biggest fans - I wouldn't have a career without them! My brother is gay." I knew in that moment if Madonna could love me, someone out there would love me for who I am. So, I lived. It sounds dramatic, and it's is, but it's 100 percent the truth.

@@jasonle520 yes that could be some of the instances. but her point was that if someone didn't like her, they'd say it to her face even if it was few since like you said, "people are afraid to do that" directly in her face. but remember, there are actual critics out there where some of their job is to "critic" what she does. I don't know for you, but if there were people directly saying that in my face, I'd be more bothered rather than a lot of people bashing me on social media because I could just shut down my notifications. and some of the hate today were just bandwagon. imagine, someone to say something in her face means that they really "meant" what they said probably unlike social media where people just jump on the hate train. think about this too: madonna is still active in her career back then and now. so she's also experiencing those "behind the screen" social media hate. I bet if you search i hate madonna there's also hate going on social media on her. but the fact that she told that story where "people used to say it in my face" means that is more bothering and it affected her more than current social media thing. and it was the 80s. I am sure most people were blunt back then. please let's not dive into i-dont-think-you-understand-what-she-meant and just focus on the message of what she's saying. it's that hate will always be there. people should be more considerate of the words they say and actions that they do.

Watching this 7 years later.. what a powerful and profound speech that brought me to tears.. truth is, I used to be THAT woman, the one who judged you, who would criticize you for what you looked like, acted, and behaved, I put myself on a pedestal and thought of myself as a woman of "values" who would never put myself out there as you did. How wrong was I... the beauty of aging brings wisdom though... I now know that subconsciously I was envious, not of your fame or fortune, but envious of your ability to be comfortable in your own skin, so comfortable with who you are, that other's opinions did not matter. My takeaways from this speech are to ACCEPT and embrace who you are, fully, your past and your present, your warts and all that goes with it, and to be GRATEFUL, not only for the people who support and agree with you but more so those that do not, as how you react to those who don't agree with you is your CHOICE, Madonna CHOSE to take motivation and inspiration from those who did not agree with her.

Without her, the world would not probably be as open minded with sexuality than it is today, even if it is not as open minded as I wish it should be. Madonna is surely the one to whom Freedom and tolerance can rely on. How many teenagers did she save by talking about aids, sexuality and tolerance. She is definitely a very good person.

This is why I love Madonna so much. I love her powerful and motivational speeches she has talked about on these topics. Thank you Madonna. I’m a 19 year old fan and I really admire your strength when it comes to being a woman in this world. I’m also very happy to have started really listening to your music and your speeches. Me having been struggling with dealing with people who try to tell me that I can’t do this, or I can’t do that in life because of my “disability”, because of your words and your strength you have really inspired me to be a very strong, independent young woman in this world. Thank you for all your love and support towards women of all ages, thank you for your motivational speeches, your unconditional love and support for people in the LGBTQ+ community like myself. Thank you for being you. I’ve discovered your music through my mother ever since I was a kid, and after starting to listen to your music more, as well as your speeches. You’ve really inspired me through everything. Thank you so much! Much love. 🥺❤️

It seams there is something truthful in this speach. When she was saying what she was expected to do in her life and what she had done because she was expected to do - it is basically everything what she has done in her life. She dedicated her life to companies she worked. She basically said what I was thinking all the time - she is creation of somebody else. Image of Madonna is just corporative creation and we don't actually know real Louise Ciccone. Probably she doesn't exsist. And I think it has noting to do with her gender. It has to do with people who sell their souls to the Devil. Louise Ciccone had to die Madonna to be born. Very sad. There is no way return. Now she must do everything what devil does to her, otherwise Madonna is dead.

She's strong and unapologetic on another level. Why is she so unknown among us? I truly admire her and now have hung up some quotes of her in my room.

And people are like a flock of sheep as well, if one critic is slagging her off, then lots of people agree without forming an opinion for themselves. There's so much great music and energy coming from Madonna, as well as interviews, films, quotes... And oh yeah, let's not forget that she never kisses ass, which is why some people don't like her as much as the other people pleasing entertainers. She's genuine

What a speech from Madonna !!! Absolutely spoken from the heart. This icon opened the door wide open to most of the current young female artists.

This is the greatest speech I've ever heard.

They cut the speech. She also made a very strong opening, saying "I stand before you as a doormat". i thought that was very powerful and the main focus of the speech. She talks about how people should get more informed. Madonna talks about life. she talks about her spiritual change in ray of light. they also cut out other things about the gay community she spoke about and mentioning other stars, saying shes lucky she's still here.

She is always a few years a head of her time and suddenly I am intrigued in the noble way she name checked Camille Paglia. The next re-invention is hugely- welcomed. What a gift.

When she said that she felt paralyzed, that hit hard. she truly is one of a kind and nthing stops her from being her true self and her truth.
