Agree Or Disagree? Madonna Believes 'World Is Not Comfortable With Female Sexuality'

"I think it's just that as a creative person, in all the different things that I've done or ways that I’ve found to express myself, I’ve consistently come up against resistance in certain areas. I think that the world is not comfortable with female sexuality. It's always coming from a male point of view, and a woman is being objectified by a man—and even women are comfortable with that. But when a woman does it, ironically, women are uncomfortable with it. I think a lot of that has to do with conditioning."

--Madonna, discussing women, power and sexuality, in the December issue of Harper's Bazaar
