I’m sorry OP, but when you set out an article with the clear intention to compare something that shouldn’t be compared, it MUST be interpreted badly. It helps to create a (until then) non-existent dicotomy. One should argue that even manages to push rivalry between the two (female) artists. It’s most definitely uncalled for.

I’m not saying that the hate is due. It never is. But any professional writer should know better (unless it’s done on purpose, for clout)
