Madonna: 'Gay rights are way more advanced than women's rights'The Queen of Pop has spoken out about how far behind women's rights are in a new interview with Out magazine. Madonna explained that women's rights and issues are 'the last great frontier' in modern society and admitted that even gay rights are advancing at a faster rate: "Gay rights are way more advanced than women's rights. People are a lot more open-minded to the gay community than they are to women, period. It’s moved along for the gay community, for the African-American community, but women are still just trading on their ass. To me, the last great frontier is women." The 'Living For Love' sensation went onto add that ageism is a problem for women, too: "They're still the group that people won't let change. You must fit into this box: You must behave this way, dress this way. You’re still categorised — you’re still either a virgin or a whore. If you’re a certain age, you’re not allowed to express your sexuality, be single, or date younger men." Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook.
