"Am I a car?"
Cyndi Lauper finds questions about age sexist
Pop legend Cyndi Lauper (71) is bothered by questions about her age. In an interview, she said that the question comes up frequently. "It's like a box you're put in and then people have certain ideas about how you should behave in it: At this age, you have to do this and this."
When Lauper is asked about her age, she replies: "What do you think I am, a car?" It should be about art and not about age. The question is sexism. "Age is a category that is used to keep us down."
"It's different for men"
She also criticized sexism in her 1983 hit "Girls Just Want to Have Fun": "When women want to have fun, they are quickly labeled. It's different for men."
In February next year, Lauper also wants to come to Germany and Hungary for two concerts with her "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour". An Austrian date is not planned.
She told the "Rheinische Post" that she doesn't want to go on any more big arena tours after that. Instead, she wants to work on a Broadway musical.
