re: #450 Alouette

What I don’t understand is why this author, obviously many steps above the poor downtrodden haredi woman she ripped off, would even bother to copy someone who is so far beneath her in literary accomplishments? Isn’t she supposed to have awesome talent on her very own?

Was it just a way to spit on the lowly haredi woman and say “fuck you! I can do whatever I want because I am Teh Awesome you are an untermensch.”

I thought Naomi Ragen is supposed to speak for oppressed women, not step all over them.

I think she wanted ‘authentic’, and saw a cheap and easy way to get it, without having to bother to acknowledge a woman she, yeah, probably saw as less important than she was. I think this happens a lot with people who see themselves representing a cause. Their ethics get sloppy, because, CAUSE.
