You have legitimate issues about the things Madonna has said and done. Fine.

But what are you saying when you call someone a cunt, which is another name for a vagina?

You are saying that the person in question is “a vagina”, or really a woman. Well, I’m sorry, but being a woman is not a reason for insult.

Nobody says things like, “Hitler: what a dick.” No, they say, “Hitler was an evil man. He murdered millions of people.”

Now, it would be coy of me not to mention that one criticism of Madonna is that she exploits her sexuality to sell records. Therefore, some could call her “a prostitute.” Being a Western Canadian, I am a bit sensitive about the term “prostitute” being an insult (murdered prostitutes found in my medium-sized city this year, so far: 3); however, it would be a correct description of someone who sells sex.

Nope, I’m not arguing over semantics. It’s about dehumanizing women.

I’ve got too many friends who have been raped or beaten to let shit like this go. And, BTW Jewish Mother, some of them were frum women.

I’d never heard of her pain syndrome, but I have heard that she was going through a period of emotional instability. She should have nothing but the refu’ot she needs and the hatzlachot she prays for…

Not too long ago, Madonna would decorate herself with henna tattoos; Hindu organizations asked her to stop doing so as she was using symbols that are of religious value to Hindus. Not long before that, she named her daughter after a pilgrimage site popular among hardcore conservative Catholics. I wouldn’t consider her an ambassador of any religion, philosophy or lifestyle other than that of a rather successful business woman.
