I replied in an earlier posting that everything I've read about her indicates that that isn't so. After thinking about it, I realized that's probably why she's so threatening, because she CHOOSES to act that way, and portray herself that way, and makes no apologies for it. How much easier it would be if we could simply blame Madonna on the sexist record industry.
