The "Madonna Is 50" CNN Special I Was Ranting About…

by DEXIE on August 20th, 2008

I was ranting about a CNN special about Madonna turning 50 last Monday and if you missed it, please read it first, then come back to this post. To some who has read it, well, here’s that video. And the young women on the street who really pissed me off when I heard their ageists and sexist comments. For a recap, some of the young women on the street said Madonna is too old so she should just go home and be a woman.

Now that I’ve watched the video again, the girl actually said, “settle down and be an old woman”. The accent threw me off when I first saw it last weekend. Nevertheless, I still think it’s wrong to say that. So what does an “old woman” should do at home? Hmmm??. And I also find it surprising that they even made a special about it. Like I said, no one makes a big deal of Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Sting, Prince, etc, turning 50, let alone young women calling for their retirement by saying, “go home…”
