Madonna’s Face Is Not Subversive
Recommended by Rebecca Seal: “You should read this even if you think you don’t care about Madonna’s face (tbh, I don’t care about Madonna’s face). Because the thing about Madonna’s face—as Jessica De Fino so brilliantly explains here—is that it’s not about Madonna’s face. It’s about the socially constructed morality of beauty. It’s about the ethics of ageing so-called ‘well.’ It’s about how we control women and how we are set up to fail regardless of what we do, or how we look or choose to look.”
