- I think we're back at last season's question: why would a Jew be a
- Jew-hater? Why would anyone turn against his/her own identity and
- line up with the more powerful oppressors? When I state it that
- way does the question contain implications of an answer (not
- necessarily *the* answer, of course...I don't think there is
- *AN* answer...)?
-
- It also rather begs a question. The 'self-hating jew' argument was about
- people like Chomsky to whom the label was applied by others, just as Ken
- is applying 'woman-hater' to Paglia. One wonders if she'd agree with this
- view of herself if she were here to answer Ken.
