  "textContent": "An excerpt from Allison T. Butler's _The Judgment of Gender: How Women Are Centered and Silenced in Pop Culture_ , published March 8, 2026:\n\nWhile Sinead O’Connor was roundly criticized for ripping up the picture of the pope, the passage of time has revealed: She was right.\n\nO’Connor was labeled a pop star, but she never saw herself that way. From _Rememberings_ : “Everyone wants a pop star, see? But I’m a protest singer. I just had stuff to get off my chest. I had no desire for fame.”\n\nThe post Sinead O’Connor Was Right: It’s Time to Revisit Some of Pop Culture’s Most Maligned Women appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
