WaPo Shoots Another Brick

Carey Purcell decided to announce that she is done with dating members of a particular religious faith. The Washington Post decided — and in this case, it might actually be pure clickbait, which would be the charitable explanation! — to publish it. The argument is as follows:

A blond WASP — have I mentioned she’s blond? — dated two largely non-observant (or, as she somewhat grossly describes them, “lackadaisical Jews.”)

They had overbearing mothers.

The relationships didn’t work, even though she is “blond, often wear pearls and can mix an excellent, and very strong, martini.” Both of these men ended up marrying women who are Jewish.

Clearly, “dating me had been their last act of defiance against cultural or familial expectations before finding someone who warranted their parents’ approval.” There is no other possible explanation.

This was published by a major newspaper. In 2018. I recommend Talia Levin’s parody version instead. And I’ll give Helen Rosner the last words:

…well, at least the thing has generated a lot of good, incredulous one-liners.
