[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is kind of funny because I am half Jewish (raised Jewish) and we joke about this all the time. My mother is a real offender of this and every time we call her out on it, she raises her hands up and says laughing "hey I am Jewish" so anyone who wants to pretend Jewish women don't do this is drinking too much koolaid. No offense meant, we just like checking out and appreciating well put together people.[/quote]
Thank you for your candidness. Much appreciated.

Reading this thread for the first time, it's disheartening to see the "anti-Semite card" thrown around this way. Do they even know what it means? Or is it simply used as an effective tool to silence any question or critique?[/quote]

Here's the problem, as I see it.  There's a fundamental difference between saying to yourself "Oh, I do that, and yes, I happen to be Jewish" and saying to yourself "I do that, and it is because I am Jewish and it is a distinct and integral part of my Jewish religion that all Jews participate in."  Who cares if posters on this thread do this and they happen to be Jewish?  That's not proof of anything, and that's why the "anti-Semite card" gets thrown around.  It's when casual characteristics get over-attributed to the fact that people are Jewish that yes, anti-Semitism rears its ugly head.[/quote]
