Another insightful and fun to read ‘drop’ about a play I wouldn’t otherwise know about. The feminism of the 70s shook society creating inroads for women that never would have happened without the rise of this movement. And your question,
50 years later where did feminism fall short is a pertinent one in many ways. Where do the feminists stand today on men forcing their way into women’s sports? Where do the feminists stand today on men allowed in women’s bathrooms? Who’s side were they on- if they even took a side when a father in Loudoun County Virginia was arrested after expressing outrage of over the sexual assault of his daughter by a boy wearing a dress in a school bathroom? Where is the outcry against Hamas’ rape of young defenseless Jewish women? If they voiced anything about all this I for one didn’t hear it. All I heard was silence.
Some older folks will recall that, more often than not, a non-Jew would show little or no interest in Jewish customs, holidays, and beliefs. Thus, it is a welcome sign that people are reaching out to understand and appreciate "Jewishness."
Another fabulous review - definitely a skill you have to articulate what is going on underneath an overarching plot and pull on the strands of nuance and intent. I love the various ways to jewsplain - I’ll have to think about how I do that… I don’t believe I go into detail explaining a holiday or belief or word I just used. If the person is interested they will ask or I can read it in their face. But also it is an interesting way to gauge a person’s intellectual curiosity and see if further conversation, or even expanding a relationship, is worth it. I love when people ask questions - tells you a lot about a person. Love this, love you.
