Stereotypes are often based in truth From my good friend Steve's blog, 2 very enlightening articles (from Nerve, so probably NSFW), both by jewish women (sisters, i believe), that illustrate why I don't date Jewish women.

Enlightening how, now? You don't date Jewish women because two of them have families obsessively promoting cultural purity? Seems kind of petty...

PS -- Stereotypes are more often based in cultural misunderstanding, fear and loathing.

In Soviet Russia, Jewish women don't date you!

lol, airline peanuts.
i myself am jewish. and have been directed my whole life to date (and ultimately marry) only jewish women.
problem is: jewish women have an agenda. despite feminism and the advances toward equality, jewish women still want to be pampered little princesses, that go from daddy to husband (and usually to alimony) seamlessly.
i have no desire to buy into that, and never have.
jewish women that don't fit the mold are few and far between, and were i to find one, i might date her. but that has yet to happen.

You left out that jewish women have big tits, and have all been given nosejobs and bmws for their sweet 16s' by their spindly-fingered fathers.

I’m flagging this post. TWENTY-TWO TIMES.

And while i'm at it, go eat a bowl of cockbagels and gefiltebitches.

The real problem is the way that Zoroastrian women are never interested in anything other than pegging.

(cont'd.) i don't date exclusively based on religion. it's an accepted thing within the jewish community to encourage people to do so. why? to outsiders it often appears exclusionary bordering on racist, some might say.

my current girlfriend is iranian and catholic. make of that what you will. as for me, i'm graduating law school in 3 weeks. make of that what you will.

and if i'm the a-hole, you haven't read the articles. both of the authors make very interesting points. one basically lays on the table all the negative stereotypes of jewish women - straight from the horse's mouth, as it were. the other is the female version of me - no desire to date jewish men. so make of *that* what you will.

We also all have red hair, measure our boyfriends' suitability by the size of the diamonds they might someday be able to buy us, and enjoyed a round of children's blood at the Passover seders over the weekend....

And, as clockzero says, our tears are flowing fast and furious at the slight of not being desired by LilBucner.

More often than based on truth? That's debatable.

Um, a good (Jewish) friend of mine did get a nose job for her 16th birthday. She has small tits, though.

How the fuck do you have a girlfriend? I'm sorry, I just -- I just don't see how any one could ever love you. Ever.

I'm sure your good pal, Steve, is enjoying the undeserved traffic. I don't date Jewish women because I'm already married but I dated some before I was married.

LilBucner, is it pretty readily apparent that this is a shitty post? Nobody gives a damn why you don't date Jewish women. Especially not the Jewish women.

Specklet, love the addendum!

I'm with Ogre Lawless; I didn't find much particularly enlightening about either link, except a reminder of how easy it is to internalize self-hatred as a minority. From the 2nd essay:

Had I been raised in Jersey, where 5.7% of the population is Jewish (my family was of the .6% in Texas), perhaps my relationship to Judaism would be different, confident, more like Scott's. I grew up in Austin and went to an Episcopal school. The only other Jewish girl in my class, Pamela Golden, broke bones when she sneezed. She was scarily fragile; we were not friends.

That's a pretty dumb source of anti-Jewish stereotyping in a Jew, although I suspect it's not uncommon in any group. And her wedding story about the bride bitch didn't offer anything at all that pegged the bitchiness to the bride's Jewishness. So what the fuck was the point of the piece?

jewish women that don't fit the mold are few and far between

Dude, you need to find some new places to hang out. And really start thinking about why you, a Jew, find Jews distasteful. Cause right now, you're a walking cliche.

specklet: thats all i'm tryin to say.
naxosaxur: b/c unlike, say, you, i try to maintain an open mind and fair dialogue, instead of stooping to personal attacks against people i don't even know. i post from personal experience.
and get your stereotypes right: indians are majority hindu - yeah there is a large muslim minority in that country too. flag away.
posted by LilBucner at 2:57 PM on April 27, 2005


A-HA! So, Jews have fragile bones! I knew it!!

I can't wait to perpetuate this newly confirmed stereotype.

And now, back to drinking with my Irish friends.
