'Reconciliation': Isn't it a Beautiful Word?

In fairness to Chait, I believe he was making his comparison from the vantage point of 1985, which pre-dates the video in question. Now, for a proper counter-point, you'd want to cite evidence from the Like A Virgin era, which is plenty ample.
I shall now turn in my straight-male credentials.

Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson), has entered the assisted suicide clinic in "Soylent Green."
He is asked what kind of music he prefers to hear as he is slowly, gently put to eternal rest. Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 27? Beethoven's "Pastorale"?
"Oh no," says Roth. "'Hung Up,' of course."

I have no straight male credentials, and so can gleefully hold forth.
As an aside, it seems the "Lauper vs. Madonna" question is a frequently-used example for writers wryly discussing their inability to predict the future. Now-Senator Al Franken mentioned this same mistake in judgement in one of his books.
And nobody can tell me that anything Lauper has done is more catchy than "Express Yourself" or "Vogue." Madonna may not be Maria Callas, but her music is every bit as appealing as Lauper's was.
