  So she released new music that I haven’t heard of. That counts as button pushing these days? Whose? She’s opposing typical gender expectations? All images I’ve seen of her over the last few years showed obvious signs of too much plastic surgery. People are free to change their bodies however they like, sure, but if you want to send a message about self-acceptance and body positivity, particularly to women who aren’t quite young anymore, that’s a weird way to do that. Not saying you should stop liking her, obviously, but I haven’t seen her being rebellious in quite a while.

    The pressure on women is to look young. Rebelling against that ideally includes not trying to make yourself look young by having invasive procedures that most women can’t even afford. Again, get all the plastic surgery you like. But it does send a signal and it isn’t “I accept that I am not 23 anymore, society can go fuck itself”.
    
    Anyway, accepting for the moment that encouraging women to grow old while not caring what others think about them is one of her causes. Is that it? Because others are doing a much better job of that.
    
    Now, I haven’t followed her because the last time I was consciously aware of her music (some time in the 00s, I think) it had started to become generic so I stopped caring. So earlier I tried to hint at a thing that I found actively annoying about her in recent years, namely her NFTs. Want to comment on that? How she jumped on that dumpsterfire of a bandwagon to make more money?

    Now this shouldn’t be about shaming women, their supposed place once aged or any of those things.
    
    This should be about the fact that her music is derivative and unoriginal, more reheated leftovers of her previous work.
    
    Cmon everyone, stay objective!

  refusal to retire and take on the old-hag role
  
  Does that include refusing to accept she is aging, and instead of performing while aging gracefully, she’s had a ton of work done that turned her unrecognizable?
