When are you 'too old' to hit the dance floor? According to #Madonna, never. And that's making people mad... The 68-year-old global pop icon is opening the #2026MTVVMAs this weekend, performing on that stage for the first time in 23 years. She's also received a career-high *13 nominations. Yet, all anyone seems to be able to talk about is her age - or rather, how she should and shouldn't be acting - and it points to a broader issue that so many women face in their personal lives and careers. We spoke to Tracey Spicer AM, author of 'Man-Made: How the bias of the past is being built into the future', to break down this double standard. While we still have far to go, there are more women 'acting like Madonna' than people realise.
