Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

There are at least two kinds of racism: the kind where the racist says they hate people of color, and the kind where the racist loves people of color.  But not in a way where they seek alliance and understanding, it often turns into cultural appropriation and/or a new set of oppressive stereotypes.  But it happens to women too, I just found this article that says that women aren't allowed to wear tzitzit because they are too smart and perfect and they don't need them.  Tzitzit are those little white tassels orthodox Jewish men sometimes wear that are tied onto an undershirt. Maybe you noticed me wearing them.  They're suposed to help you remember to say prayers and to not do bad stuff.  Just like a little extra reminder.  Aparently women never do anything wrong, and don't need any help.  And it is hubris for them to wear tzitzit.  I guess I'm in good shape then.  Or maybe I'm just committing hubris.
