Description
Summary:An interview with Arielle Angel, a Jewish girl, about sexism and Zionism is presented. Angel mentions "This was not an Orthodox religious community. The misogyny I encountered came from American culture; I don't think it came from the religious element. Many Jewish communities have more of a feminist bent because the female personalities are, at least stereotypically, more assertive. My mom started the first abortion fund in Florida and was very involved in reproductive-rights activism; she still is. So all that was present when I was growing up. The messaging that I absorbed on sexuality and gender issues just from being in Miami - with all its machismo and toxic hypersexuality - was pretty bad, though; it took a long time to unlearn that."
