Showing Original Post only (View all)'It's sexist and it's ageist and it's bulls**t' - Madonna responds to critics who say she's too old [View all]
The 56-year-old Queen of Pop has been condemned by several critics for working like she does, with some attempting to discredit her as someone too old to be a sexy star.
But Madonna is convinced people are fabulous in all epochs of their lives and she despises ageism.
"I feel like it's a form of discrimination that still has not been dealt with and it should be. I think it should be as verboten as making racist remarks or making homophobic remarks, judging somebody by their age," she told Access Hollywood. "It's sexist and it's ageist and it's bullsh*t."
Madonna is mother to four children - Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 14, David, eight, and Mercy, eight.

She's just realizing she's benefited from 'attractiveness-privilege' all these years? n/t

I could even take the subpar voice if she exuded some likeability. She ain't got it. nt
