- I hope I didn't mislead--Paglia is not a "woman hater." She hates only
- certain types of women. It's not certain that her public views match her
- private feelings, because one often has the impression that much, perhaps
- most, is schtick.
- Madonna is her hero,and she feels M is the current ideal role model for
- women.

- Great one-liner by Molly Ivins: "Madonna has done for girls what lassie did
- for dogs."
