Madonna was named Billboard's Woman of the Year for 2016 and delivered a powerful speech on stage on Friday.
"I stand before you as a doormat. Oh, I mean, as a female entertainer," she said.
'Madge' continued, saying that as a woman in the entertainment industry, she had to play by a certain set of rules.
"If you're a girl, you have to play the game. You're allowed to be pretty and cute and sexy. But don't act too smart," she said.
