Even JDate isn't magic, of course. Still, I know of no other place where I can more conveniently find more single Jewish women to meet or not meet.
What I really want to comment on are feminist Jewish men. I am one. To me, "feminist" is not a scary word. Frankly, I judge anyone who is not. I think we all should believe in equality for men and women.
I think Jewish men are far more likely than the general male population to be feminists. I don't have stats, but it stands to reason. First, (most) Jewish men have much less of a certain barrier to contend with -- machismo. Not that there are no macho Jewish men (esp. in Israel). But machismo to a Jewish man comes from outside, not inside, his Jewish culture. Second, if we are at all in touch with our Judaism (and, frankly, even if we're not) we were raised with the Jewish notions that women have rights -- Jews got that idea way before others.
Oh, and you gotta know that Jewish men are far more likely to want (not just be comfortable with, but actually want) an intellectual woman!
