Well, at first the word Jewess kind of hits you. What??? Am I really a 'Jewess'? What does that mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing, or neither? I have to mull this over. It's not so easy to 'reclaim' the word but I'd like to know what other people think. Hmmm. Jewess sounds a bit like 'priestess', countess, seductress. I think this is a word we have to roll around in our mouths to get used to.
