Madonna has tackled the issue of ageism in the newest edition of Harper's Bazaar. In the article the pop icon opened up about her love life and revealed that having relationships with much younger men has created some turmoil in her personal life.
"I've always felt oppressed. I know a lot of people would go, 'Oh, that's ridiculous for you to say that. You're a successful white, wealthy pop star,' but I've had the s— kicked out of me for my entire career, and a large part of that is because I'm female and also because I refuse to live a conventional life," Madonna, 58, told Bazaar. "I've created a very unconventional family. I have lovers who are three decades younger than me. This makes people very uncomfortable. I feel like everything I do makes people feel really uncomfortable."
She adds: "I believe in freedom of expression, I don't believe in censorship. I believe in equal rights for all people. And I believe women should own their sexuality and sexual expression. I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be."
