Anyone else feel like Lennox' eyebrow raise is sexy in the same vain as 80's Tim Curry's?

Sinead didnt call Miley a slut, did she? She point out that she was prostituting herself out for the music biz. HUGE difference and NOT slut shaming. Sure Annie said it better, probably because Sinead talks like a drunken sailor on leave... but the message is the same.

Yeah, poor Sinead. I think the core of her message was a good one. But it seemed a little condescending and slut-shamey. Annie Lennox got the nuance of the situation better.

Yeah, and all she had to do was not call people out by name, not engage in slut shaming herself, and not end the matter by babbling out a bunch of ridiculous legal threats. How strange that her version was received much better!

Listen, open letter fatigue aside, everyone should shut their mouths and listen when Annie Lennox speaks, dammit.

I can't really articulate why, the term. "Food blogger" rubs me the wrong way.

What is the opposite of slut-shaming? It's the phenomenon where women who criticize objectification and token sexuality in popular culture are called prudes or old ladies?

I'm only here to say that when, many lifetimes ago, the great Annie Lennox appeared out of a bathroom stall behind me and thrust her hands into a Paris washroom basin to share the running water I was already using with little more than a shrug and a glance in the mirror into my eyes that said, "Yep, you're right, it's…

Its really too bad Sinead O'Connor wasn't as eloquent as Annie Lennox. Both letters are pretty much saying the same thing.

Agreed completely. This thread is absolute disappointment to me as a Jezebel reader. The OP, those that were making and starring these 'ugh Madonna is a fame whore' comments should be the ones who are ashamed of themselves, not a rape victim who finally, after 30 + years under intense public scrutiny, finds a way to…

I wish I could like your post 1,ooo times. And that it would get out of the gray—though very few of the posts pointing out that this discourse is dangerous have been "approved." Which is pretty disheartening all over again.

Assume no one gives a shit about your wedding.

Madonna has talked about this before. It's old news. Your comment is disgusting.

So, BEFORE actresses, signers, dancers and all other manners of professional women performers, famous or not, use their voice to courageously explain to us what price they paid for entering the business whether assault, rape and being the victim various forms of misogyny, you will simply invalidate all with:

*slow clap* This whole thread has been surprisingly disgusting.

I shouted at a performer once. I was four and it was the Holy Redeemer High School's production of the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy was recapping what everyone was going to the Wizard to see and each one would answer with "Right". She got to the Lion and damned if I did not beat that kid to the line. All was forgiven…

I will join the group not comfortable with dismissing her account out of hand. From what actually seems to be the first mention of the rape in the media (NME 12-2-1995). I say this because Madonna claims in the interview that she has never mentioned it before.

In all truthiness, I've never had any patience with Apple's navel-gazing, oversensitive bullshit.
