So I stumbled upon these insightful articles. I have long seen
Madonna fans throw the "feminism" and "ageism" card while explaining madonna's lack of recent success, it seemed a tad hypocritical considering her behaviour.
ARTICLE #1 -- SBS Australia
Quote:
In exposing the breast of a 17-year-old fan, Madonna sets back campaigns for respect and consent, writes Melinda Tankard Reist.
Given Madonna’s declaring of such a fantasy toward the young woman, talk of what followed as being an ‘accident’ is barely believable.
Madonna, having essentially ‘groomed’ the teen by telling her she had the body of a Victoria Secret Model, then aggressively exposed the girl’s breast.
‘Oh s---. Oh sorry, sexual harassment. You can do the same to me, good luck,’ Madonna said flippantly.
In these few seconds the material girl gave an ‘up yours’ to global campaigns around respect, consent, bodily integrity and the right of any woman anywhere to say ‘no’.

Wow, I didnt know madonna said this about Queen Janet !! A bit hypocritical if you ask me
Quote:
This is the same woman who derided Janet Jackson’s infamous 2004 Superbowl 'wardrobe malfunction' by saying: 'You don’t have to show your nipples to be interesting, and it doesn’t mean you’re cutting edge if you do.'
But exposing another woman’s nipples is OK and cutting edge, apparently.

ARTICLE #2 -- The Daily Orange
Quote:
In the case of the under-aged fan, Madonna abused power by using the fan’s admiration and respect for shock value. And now, a girl who is not a celebrity — despite the fact that she is an aspiring model — will forever have that video of her chest exposed on the internet.
Madonna hasn’t seemed to have learned her lesson, which is that every human being on the planet, regardless of gender, has the right to their own body and the right to makes choices about it.
Even claiming the fan was OK with it is a ludicrous defense because Madonna can’t read minds. She had no way of knowing that the teen felt comfortable exposing her breasts on stage and thus had no right to do tha
Feminism, for me, is about a lot of things. The wage gap, gender, sexuality — and yes, consent. And by ignoring an individual’s right to their own body, Madonna doesn’t support men or women. She’s just supporting herself.
