Madonna, Younger Men and Her Brother Christopher
Recently Madonna’s brother Christopher claimed, “if she continues to date all these much younger guys, it could start to look creepy.” One immediately wonders what could possibly look “creepy” about one of the world’s most attractive women dating attractive men. As a physically fit celebrity, Madonna is much “younger” than her numeric age.
Christopher goes on to say, “She certainly isn't following societal values, but then again my sister never has and probably never will either.” Here again I must disagree. It has been commonplace in society for successful older men to date younger women, the only way to render Madonna’s behavior out of the ordinary is by applying a sexist double standard. Madonna was chosen as the 11th most powerful woman in the world in the 20th century, in a list released by Time magazine, why shouldn’t younger men find that attractive?
It is certainly not immoral on Biblical grounds, and to demonstrate the point I offer this article on where Cain got his wife in the Bible:

If anyone reads this and can show me where the age of the husband or wife is Biblically relevant, I would love to see it.
