Addendum - That Movie Thing on Tuesday.

I forgot --

At that movie thing on Tuesday, a few second-wave feminists showed up, including this one with short grey ear and small earrings, who at one point made a point of explaining lesbian separatism to the audience, since she said it made sense at the time and people forget that context.

Anyhow, at one point she launched into a story about how in college back in the 1960s she had this roommate who was Jewish, and this one acquaintance of theirs said in front of her roommate that she never ate bagels, because Jews touched them when they made them. The story went on from there, but in the end the acquaintance was forced to confront her stereotypes about Jews, and the second-wave feminist was like, "Which goes to show you, it's always been about education, and it always will be."
