My only experience with Madonna is her videos (which, in my humble opinion,
stink).  I don't have a daughter, but if I did I don't think I would want
her to have a "slut-like" role model.  It's not her "wierdness" (I love
Cyndi Lauper) but it's the blatent sexuallity.  I thought the whole point
of the "womens movement" was to get them off of their backs and into the
board rooms?  Teaching young women to be "sex-kittens" isn't going to do
that.
