    Aufwachsen weiblich in Amerika. Was für eine Haftung! Sie sind mit Ohren voller Kosmetikwerbung, Liebesliedern, Ratgebersäulen, Hureoskopen, Hollywood-Klatsch und moralischen Dilemmata auf der Ebene von TV-Seifenopern aufgewachsen. Welche Litaneien haben die Werbetreibenden des guten Lebens auf Sie gesungen! Was für seltsame Katechismen!
