Megan's career (IN TERMS OF RESILIENCE) reminds me of Madonna's
Let me explain.
I know a lot of us here are Black (probably most of us, to be honest), and a lot younger, so this comparison might not immediately click.
After watching Vic Mensa talk about how Megan is basically a barometer for people's misogyny, I couldn't help but think of Madonna.
Madonna spent much of the '80s being attacked for simply existing on her own terms as a woman. She was criticized, shamed, and scrutinized for almost everything she did. Some aspects were different, of course, but the anger and misogyny Megan faces today remind me a lot of what Madonna endured back then. And honestly, I don't think it's gone away—just look at how people constantly weaponize Megan's age against her.
The biggest similarity is that neither of them let that stop them.
Megan fully owns her sexuality, and that still makes a lot of people uncomfortable. They think that by attacking her they'll shame her into changing or giving up. Instead, she keeps doubling down on being herself, and every attempt to tear her down only seems to fuel her even more—which, ironically, just makes her critics even more bitter.
Do you guys agree with me or am I doing too much? Let's chaaaaaaaaaat!
