Madonna responds to harsh criticisms concerning her MET Gala dress

57 year old singer, Madonna was bashed and criticized for wearing a backside-and-breast-baring Givenchy gown to the 2016 Met Gala in New York. People were appalled at what she wore and dragged her for always seeking attention in outrageous ways. Madonna has now responded and she defended herself through a statement she released. Read the statement after the cut...

"We have fought and continue to fight for civil rights and gay rights around the world. When it comes to Women's rights we are still in the dark ages. My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as well as a fashion statement. The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an age-ist  and sexist society. I have never thought in a limited way and I'm not going to start. We cannot effect change unless we are willing to take risks By being fearless and By taking the road leas traveled by. Thats how we change history.  If you have a problem with the way I dress it is simply a reflection of your prejudice. I'm not afraid to pave the way for all the girls behind me As Nina Simone once said, the definition of freedom is being fearless. I remain Unapologetic and a Rebel  in this life and all the others. Join my fight for Gender. Equality!"

••••••Hey granny!!! Chill jare
This isn't gender equality any sh**.....This is indecent dressing and it's abnormal in our society
so if you can't identify with the norms of the society then It's you that have a PROBLEM not the society....
Let that sink because your mentality is too stiff and no one knows it all....keep learning for it is a continuous process

so gender equality is about showing yours boobs and butt, no wonder our senate dismiss the bill, people like her are the reason why people are skeptical about the bill, they always make women worthless and unvalued

Unknown said...

did she jst say "for women to express their sexuality"
nobody is talking about any civil right or political purpose.
that dress is a fashion understatement!!!

Lame excuse! Take a seat...do something COMMENDABLE...like Michelle Obama...gender equality? How?

Unknown said...

i admire her courage but she should remember when she dresses that way that she is not in her room but in the public and so her sheer exposures in a way is an insult to our collective intelligence

Unknown said...

This dress has nothing to do with gender equality. I hate it when people use terms like Gay rights, Gender equality, etc to cover up for their stupidity
