Singer
Madonna
insists
that
the
society
is
still
"very
sexist" and
she
has
faced
a
tough
battle
to
defy
expectations
to
be
the
person
she
wants
to
be.
"Don't
be
fooled,
not
much
has
changed
--
certainly
not
for
women.
We
still
live
in
a
very
sexist
society
that
wants
to
limit
people.
Since
I
started,
I've
had
people
giving
me
a
hard
time
because
they
didn't
think
you
could
be
sexual
or
have
sexuality
or
sensuality
in
your
work
and
be
intelligent
at
the
same
time.
For
me,
the
fight
has
never
ended," Madonna
said.
The
"Living
For
Love"
hitmaker
believes
the
key
to
her
four-decade
career
is
her
strong
sense
of
self,

"Popularity
comes
and
goes.
You
need
to
know
who
you
are,
what
you
stand
for,
and
why
you're
here,"
Madonna
said
in
an
interview
accompanying
her
appearance
on
the
cover
of
America's
Cosmopolitan
magazine's
50th
anniversary
issue.
Madonna,
who
raised
children
Lourdes,
Rocco,
David,
and
Mercy,
doesn't
worry
about
criticism
she
receives
via
social
media
because
she
knows
the
online
bullies
wouldn't
be
brave
enough
to
make
their
remarks
in
person.
"You
can
hide
behind
your
computer
or
your
phone
and
say
whatever
you
want
--
you're
not
known.
Could
you
say
it
to
my
face?
Would
you
say
it
to
my
face?
I
doubt
it,"
she
added.
