Madonna: ‘Straight Men Did Not Find Me Attractive…They Were Scared Of Me’
Posted on Nov 10, 2011 @ 10:30AM
Singer-turned-actress-turned-director Madonna is featured on the December cover of Harper’s BAZAAR Magazine alongside the star of her upcoming film W.E. Andrea Riseborough, and leave it to the Material Girl to make some shocking and controversial statements!
“I think that the world is not comfortable with female sexuality,” Madonna says in the interview. “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."
So, how did Madonna escape that “conditioning”?

"The fact that I didn't have a mother helped me in some respect, and that I didn't have a female role model. I was always very aware of sexual politics, growing up in a Catholic-Italian family in the Midwest, seeing that my brothers could do what they wanted but the girls were always told that they needed to dress a certain way, act a certain way.”
In the revealing interview, the 53-year-old also talks about being tormented as a child for doing the opposite of what the other girls were doing.

"Straight men did not find me attractive," she says. "I think they were scared of me because I was different. I've always asked, 'Why? Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to look this way? Why do I have to dress this way? Why do I have to behave this way?'"

I wonder if that is why she decided to date young guys who are in it for the money.

well if you think that they were scared of you then, hate to tell you this but "do you have a mirror? My guess is you dont have to be straight to be scared of Maddona these days. Have you all seen her pics in her hotel room in her gonchies.

""Straight men did not find me attractive," she says. "I think they were scared of me because I was different."
Or maybe it was because you are a skank.

The best REVENGE is I hear her daughter is a BRAT and treats her like she's OLD. Hate to tell her but Gays don't think she's attractive either. BUT she's an incredible money making machine and knows what works for her!!

She's absolutely right; we need more female role models who are strong and comfortable with themselves. We do not need more Courtney Stoddens, who are merely playing to the male perspective of sexuality.

Uhh - there are countless men who are perfectly comfortable with females' sexuality -that's what keeps the human race reproducing itself! Maybe it's not her sexuality that's at fault, it's her personality!

She's so full of it. I think she's unattractive to most straight men because she's so driven and selfish that it's apparent she doesn't understand the concept of "we." She dates down to stay in control. Little sexy about total narcissism.
