SO, I’D SAY THAT today’s feminists are a bunch of shrinking violets like the Victorian spinsters they affect to disdain, but actually, those Victorian spinsters were okay with seminude statuary. And remember when Democrats made fun of John Ashcroft for draping a statue? “The episode was quickly seized upon by pundits and satirists as a symbol of Ashcroft’s allegedly puritanical and censorious bearing.” Perhaps Wellesley can change its name to John Ashcroft University.
