My sympathy has always been for Marguerite Whitley, whose story has never been told. She & her children were just as much a victim as anyone else. Nobody - including Nicole - took her feelings into consideration - her grief, humiliation & pain.

Gen Z largely ignores history. Madonna is not VIP because she broke barriers. She only did the things they've always done. They take hard won battles of the past as inalienable rights. That's why they are shocked when things are taken away.
@craigspoplife I'm honestly sort of astonished at how little Gen Z seems to care about Madonna. To some degree, I don't think Madonna did herself any favors in the last decade. But her accomplishments are undeniable.
