I haven't watched MTV's annual Video Music Awards since Bill Clinton was president. I was wearing a plastic choker, and Alanis Morissette won for 'Ironic.'
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Few of us doubt that stealing is wrong, especially from the poor. But the accusation of 'cultural appropriation' is overwhelmingly being used as an objection to syncretism - the mixing of different thoughts, religions, cultures, and ethnicities that often ends up creating entirely new ones.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Britain beat us to the abolition of slavery; the Isle of Man, New Zealand, and Finland all decided to give women the vote well before the United States. Eventually, we got smart and borrowed these egalitarian innovations.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
One of my favorite things on YouTube is the famous 1965 debate between James Baldwin and William F. Buckley at Cambridge University.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
There's no question that I am biased toward the Hebrew calendar over the Gregorian one.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
If you crave an anti-new year New Year, consider adopting Rosh Hashana as your own.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
When Kendrick Lamar blasts Mr. Trump, he is preaching to the choir. When Eminem does it, there's a good chance Trump voters are actually listening.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Eminem knows that Republicans buy songs - his songs - too. His message to them is to stop buying.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Think tanks are chiefly supposed to provide independent expertise to policymakers. But they also seek to be politically relevant.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
At the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a hawkish, nonpartisan research group, at least two people left over the way the think tank responded to Mr. Trump's election.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The Heritage Foundation, by far the most influential think tank of the Trump era, is widely seen as a redoubt of Trumpism in large part because of the tremendous influence of the Mercers, who are major donors.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
In Israel, there is no civil marriage. All elements of religious life - from the kosher certification of food to conversion to marriages and burials - are controlled by the rabbinate. In Israel, then, the official religion is not just Judaism. It's Orthodoxy.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
One area where American Jews have something to teach Israel is religious pluralism, something that living in a democracy with a separation between church and state has helped us fine-tune.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The Jewish state has so much to teach diaspora Jews about resilience, innovation, energy, and optimism.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Israel's highest aspiration may be to be a light among the nations, but it is also a normal nation, where regular people want to go about their business without a religious authority having a say.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I'd venture a bet that no American hates 'Prairie Home Companion' more than I do.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
'Annie Hall' and 'The Graduate' are incredible films. Why should we be deprived of watching them because some of the men that made them are bad?
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I think 'Les Demoiselles D'Avignon' is one of the most transfixing paintings of all time. And it was made by a monster of a man.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
If the standard for art is the decency of its creators, we're going to have a lot of empty museums.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Ever since Eve gave Adam that forbidden fruit, demonizing and disbelieving women has been the planet-wide policy. You don't need to reach back to the Pleistocene to see the truth of that.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I believe that the 'believe all women' vision of feminism unintentionally fetishizes women. Women are no longer human and flawed. They are Truth personified. They are above reproach.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I believe that facts serve feminists far better than faith. That due process is better than mob rule.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I believe that it's condescending to think that women and their claims can't stand up to interrogation and can't handle skepticism.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
The best movie theater in the world is in a dingy basement on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The worn seats are painful. There are probably bigger screens in half the apartments in the complex above the theater. And forget Fandango; the theater barely has a website. You want to buy a ticket? Get in line.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
In the Trump era, the Left has smartly and justifiably seized a moral high ground that the Right has abandoned by its embrace of the president.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Christina Hoff Sommers is a self-identified feminist and registered Democrat with a Ph.D. in philosophy and a wicked sense of humor.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
We live in a world in which politically fascistic behavior, if not the actual philosophy, is unquestionably on the rise.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Organized religion may be anathema on the political Left, but the need for the things religion provides - moral fervor, meaning, a sense of community - are not.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
It's no rare thing for the Israeli prime minister to enrage the Jews of the diaspora.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Anti-Semitism is the hatred that never dies. Violence that begins with the Jews never ends with them. All of this is true. What's also true is that anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred in the world because individual people have sustained it in every generation. It cannot be defeated until we look these people and their ideologies in the face.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Only the likes of Piers Morgan would be opposed to a Miss America contest that promises to be more 'empowering' and 'inclusive.'
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Our culture hasn't stopped objectifying women. We - men and women both - are just getting better at pretending it's not happening.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I haven't watched Miss America since I was in middle school, and I was incredulous even then.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
While men pretend not to judge women for the way they look, we go to great lengths to pretend we don't care, either.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Women are hypocrites. Women are opportunists. Women are liars. They are abusers and bullies and manipulators. They are capable of cruelty, callousness, and evil. Just like men.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
'Believe women' only works as a rule of thumb when all women are good. That myth falls flat outside Victorian England.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
We need a feminist movement that is robust enough to survive women who have preyed on others without trying to justify their behavior or maligning their victims.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
We need a feminist movement in which the facts of the case trump the identities of the parties involved.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
Most people, including many Jews, think of Yom Kippur as a 25-hour caffeine headache capped off by a lox-and-bagels binge. It's undeniably that. But it is also, at its deepest level, a dry run. It is the one day of the year when we Jews are asked to look our mortality in the face.
Quote by -Bari Weiss
I am a serial denier. I try not to be. I tell myself, 'You are going to die.' I repeat it. I grasp it for a second or two, but then it escapes me, and I'm back to before.
