I have always loved the word Jewess and had decided years ago to ignore the fact that it gave many a bad taste because of the Nazis having used it in their categorizations. My father always used this as a descriptor for Jewish women he found beautiful so I also have a sentimental affection for the word.
I think there was a time when Ashkenazi Jewish women were considered exotic, altho it may be a bit before your time. If you remember a movie called "The Way We Were", 1973, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, his whole attraction to her was based on her exoticness, of mind and body. I think that was not an uncommon experience for non Jewish men of a certain time, and may even be true for non Jewish men today. The Jewish power brokers in Hollywood, however, found others exotic and so we were vanished in that way. Let's emerge out of that cycle of shadows. If we own our own exoticness we cannot be banished
