It is ok

[(Anonymous)]

Is it ok to use the word "Jewess"?




To describe a homosexual Jewish male?

Trolling aside, I am actually curious if Jewess is a legit word that just isn't used any more because it's archaic, or if it's a slur that's not used because it's a horrible word.

Re: It is ok

[(Anonymous)]

No its not a slur. Unless you do use it against a male to imply he isn't masculine for any reason.

Re: It is ok

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, it is a slur.

Re: It is ok

[(Anonymous)]

It is... I don't know about a slur, but it's very archaic and has strange connotations to me such that I would immediately hardcore side-eye someone who used it.

Re: It is ok

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be a little taken aback by anyone who used this in general, like anon above me said it's not exactly a slur I don't think but it's kind of...weird and I'd probably think the person had some iffy opinions about Jewish people, to say the least. And using a clearly feminine term for a male would make me think they were homophobic and misogynist.

No.

Re: It is ok

lol no

It sounds like the sort of language you'd find on stormfront.

But I'm sure you wouldn't know anything about that, right, OP?

It's an archaic term for a cis Jewish woman, and should be used in no other way. It's a legit word, and not a slur in that context (it's perfectly alright to call Mirah in Daniel Deronda a Jewess because she does herself and everyone else does; it was the accepted term at the time). Yes, it will probably be taken as a slur or at least a slight to call a modern gay Jewish man that.

If you're writing something about a gay Jewish guy in the 19th century, I can understand people calling him that behind his back. He might even call himself that jokingly. But not today.

Re: It is ok

[(Anonymous)]

Any word to describe a follower of Judaism or their ethnic descendants is considered a slur, including Jew, by that group if it suits their purpose to do so.

Re: It is ok

[cbrachyrhynchos]

It's not ok to call a gay man anything except what he wants to be called, and even then only if you're friendly about it.
